Seasonal Climate Outlook Jan-March 2012

The white herons are raising more chicks than usual with perfect breeding conditions and plenty of food in the Okarito Lagoon.  The banded dotterels have had a great season of successful hatches, with some on their second round.  The caspian and white fronted terns have been seen in a frenzy of fishing alongside the boat – amazing to watch as they plummet straight into the water!

Hope to see you here in the sunshine this summer – we have accommodation available in cottages or the community campground – for more information please contact us or visit our accommodation page on this website.
