Injured pateke find at Kowharewa Bay excites Posted Image The rare pateke after being brought back to health at the Whangarei Native Bird Recovery Centre. The discovery of rare pateke - native brown teal ducks - in a part of Northland they are not normally found has excited conservationists. But the discovery is tinged slightly by the fact that one of the two pateke found at Kowharewa Bay in Tutukaka died after they were hit by a vehicle. Abigail Monteith, from DOC's Whangarei office, said last Thursday a member of the public found two pateke on Tutukaka Block Rd at Kowharewa bay Tutukaka. One was dead and the other one was badly injured and taken to DOC. Pateke are the rarest waterfowl on the mainland with only 400 in Northland and about 2000 nationally. Source Link |
