I was just down there and there's defintaly major issues.
The numbers of small birds like wax eyes and tom tits are not what I'd call high. Others like kakariki are doing great.
Now to be fair, the rats problem was shocking. Worst ive ever seen.
We came out one morning and there was foot wide roads around the beach with thousands and thousands of prints. They had dug holes all around the boat and under it. It was unbelievable.
We killed a few. I shot one cat and saw another. Our cams caught cats and rats as well.
Id prefer it wasn't done, but I'll be interested if they really do some good work checking the science with tunnel counts and cam work. Of course I'm assuming they aren't going to display that info to portray what they'd like to see.
