DoC dobs itself in for errant spraying

DoC dobs itself in for errant spraying Newsroom 2/03/2021 © Provided by Newsroom How did two weed control operations on public conservation land go so wrong? David Williams reports The effects of the herbicide spraying becomes obvious just past the old, corrugated-iron musterers’ hut, with its tack shed and veranda. Scattered among grasses at the southern edge of Lake Emma in Canterbury’s Hakatere Conservation Park lie dead exotic Scotch broom plants, while, nearby, the tougher sweet brier is re-sprouting. But as Canterbury Regional Council ecologist Philip Grove and his colleague Mike Marr, a resource management investigator, pick their way along the 500-metre-long sprayed area, there’s evidence of what Grove calls “non-target spray damage” to native shrubs, matagouri and Coprosma propinqua. (According to documentation, there was both aerial and ground spraying.)

Black-backed gulls culled

Gulls culled . . . Southern black-backed gulls causing havoc in the Waitaki Valley have forced the Department of Conservation to control their numbers. PHOTO: SUPPLIED/DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION A threat to nationally endangered birds in the Waitaki Valley forced the Department of Conservation (Doc) to step in last week. Doc undertook control work to remove southern black-backed gull colonies from the Waitaki River, east of Kurow, as the gulls were preying on black-fronted tern and wrybill colonies. There were “unnaturally high numbers” of the gulls in the lower Waitaki and the colonies targeted had about 600 birds in them, Geraldine operations manager Duncan Toogood said.

Reports of gull chicks dying near the Rangitata River

“There just doesn’t seem to be enough feed for them, some chicks are so weak that they can barely move. “It’s a real concern to the anglers because without seabirds you don’t really have a river.” Hodgson added there has been insufficient food for the birds due to the degradation of the Rangitata River. JOHN BISSET/Stuff Peter Ritchie says some black billed gull chicks near Rangitata are too weak to fly because of lack of feed. Ritchie said the birds going out to sea for their feed were largely “coming back empty”. “The adults are dying as well as the chicks,” he said.

Water events lead June s news headlines in South Canterbury

John Bisset/Stuff The San Aotea II, pictured leaving Timaru s port in early June, berthed back in Timaru in August 2020. A rescue and a retrieval featured prominently in June’s news coverage out of South Canterbury, writes Doug Sail in the sixth instalment of our series looking back on the year that was. Sanford deep-water fleet manager Darryn Shaw said the trip to the South Georgia Islands was necessary because of the impact of Covid-19, which had made it difficult to get people out of the Falkland Islands. ‘‘Normally we would bring our people back by air, via South America, but that is not possible at this time with borders closed into that region,’’ Shaw said.
