User's notes

Unsure exactly how many were Pink-eared ducks as only took a couple of photos before a truck was driven near them and they took to the air. From a quick look there was also Shovelers and Grey Teal but didn't get time to take as many photos as desired.

On a recent COG survey we got about 265 PED from memory in the sewerage works.

That would have been a good sight, do they let COG in to do the surveys or are you trying to do it from the road?

COG conducts quarterly surveys where a small team gets access accompanied by ICON staff.
