We had an enjoyable 'cluster meeting' in the provinces of three Primary Science Teacher Fellows.
Kim from Hamilton came down and met up with Pat and Janet in Taranaki for a couple of days.
We visited Pat's workplace at DOC New Plymouth and looked out at Tupuae Marine Reserve from Back Beach then spent a morning doing 5 Minute Bird Counts from points around the lake at Rotokare.
We managed to hear and see lots of Paradise and Mallard ducks,fantails and silvereyes.

A highlight was hearing and actually seeing a secretive fernbird amongst the raupo.
Bryan from Hawera also joined us and many thanks to Kara for organising and accompanying us-what a large number of bird calls she could recognise!
