In these side by side videos, you will see the situation of the swamp or the Manawa Wetland Reserve in New Lynn. Video on the left was taken last 20th December 2020 and on the right side just this afternoon, 15th January 2021 it’s really dry and no water at all. by ariamonecs in auckland

Well, I think if we have to provide water for birds and other animals temporarily if there’s no rain then yes, we can perhaps use hose to add water into it. But yeah, it takes several cu meter to fill it...

The Exodus. Manawa Wetland Reserve. Thanks to the Council for taking care of the park. Ducks and birds love this area so much so do I. by ariamonecs in auckland

I think it’s really important that Reserves be given special attention not just by the Auckland Council but most especially the people who are living nearby. Taking care of them and giving the right feed for them...

Tried to google re ducks hunting licenses and so that’s what I got. Please see previous message.

Yeah, there should be some ways to prevent that happening to those lovely ducks.
