Unfortunately, due to a terrible weather forecast for this morning the planned beach clean-up by Hauraki school had to be cancelled. This annual event to keep the local shell banks safe for shorebirds has been supported by the students and teachers at Hauraki school for many years now and is a great event.
On Tuesday I was invited to visit the school and talk to the wonderful students and show them a presentation about the special shorebirds that live and at and visit shoal bay during the year.
Removing rubbish washed up on shell banks that could endanger the birds and their attempts to nest is a very worthwhile cause.
Hopefully the students may get an opportunity with their families to visit when the weather settles.
My thanks to the teachers for allowing me to share with their students my ongoing interest in protecting the shorebirds and other wildlife that visits and inhabits Shoal Bay.
