What an amazing weekend of kererū counting! I even managed to get out and do a timed count myself 🙂 - So just to recap Day 2, Saturday 19th numbers - Observations made 1258 with 2742 Kererū Counted.
Day 3, Sunday the 20th numbers - Observations made 1230 with 2336 Kererū Counted.
Total for the first three days of the GKC 2020
Observations = 3706
Kererū Counted = 7712
Have a wonderful Monday - Keep up the great counting!
#gkc2020This gorgeous Kereru finally got his freedom today. He's been ready for a few days but the weather wasn't playing the game.
He was released at the Botanical Gardens here in Dunedin and we went for a walk afterwards to see if we could spot some Kereru for the #GKC2020.
We saw 51 Kereru in just over an hour walking around the gardens! It was fantastic to see. www.greatkererucount.nz/count-kereru/
