Thread: Mai mai prep and feeding

Pic with the "borrowed water:. We ll give it back via evaporation ha ha @Dundee The tide was out about 4 to 5 foot lower than it is now.
Rest of the place is browned out cos no rain but this is a little oasis and piece of paradise ...
Ducks bombing in big time on the night flight so far...

nice looking pond Happy

Its when you can lay claim to a mai mai,years ago they issued steel tags and hammered them onto pegs for duckshooting pozzies.
There use to be quite a few pegs at the river with these tags. Now we just tear off a tag that comes with the licence.

120 odd ducks on the pond today when topping up the feeder. Time to ramp it up soon

The feeders working wonders on the Monday / Tuesday pond after opening too

Up to 200 at a conservative estimate at present . Loving the barley !

Tagged the maimai yesterday all in all looking positive for a good season number wise a good mix of species, spent a good two hours on the loppers recutting the access track for my truck. Where do my rates go? In past years vegetation control has been done by the Regional Council.





























Took the ultralight for a walk as when you have a view like this out the back of the maimai why not!





Quick leg stretch up to Midway no replies to my roars but you don't get them sitting on the couch









Not the target species come 1st Saturday in May but always cool to see

Mint location there,cool pics.

It's the head of a Lake, culvert pipes enable water flow through from the river. Dairy cockies had their irrigators turned off but were feeding out plenty of silage.
Also guys plenty of maimai's that are spare if you want to put the effort in rebuild / brush up - most dingy access though need to have use of one.

Got my floaters and standing ones out already

I am loving your fully flocked cowcoys Dundee. Did you buy them locally or import them from the states?

Monday / Tuesday ponds looking sick. Hundreds roosting in the gravel alongside the pit
