on the 19th May

Jock and I are being taken over to Motunau Island by helicopter courtesy of D.O.C. I am so excited about it! While on the Island with D.O.C. staff we will check approx 30 bait stations for rats and mice, watch another staff member catch lizards to be transferred elsewhere and help plant some new plants.
I am a bit cautious as it is pretty rough terrain and lots of penguin nest holes to look out for but oh the joy and privilege of being able to visit this mighty Island which is so close and yet so far and untouchable to thousands of people because you have to have a permit to land on it.
If the trip has be cancelled due to weather conditions, the cancellation date is the 21st
