This is all that's left of the Gulf Harbour Geese...
I'm dumbfounded. In the early hours of this morning my partner and I witnessed the disgusting "pest control" commissioned by the Gulf Harbour Country Club. For roughly an hour and a half, between 12am - 1:30am, two cowards circled around the large pond seen from Gulf Harbour Drive on a quad bike, shooting any bird in sight.
Obviously impressed with their abilities to shoot slow moving targets in the dead of night, they then proceeded to camp out on the golf course with a small fire - in what one can only assume was a romantic feast for two on harmless and native birds.
Anyone in the area would be familiar with the abundance of Pukekos, Gulls, Oyster Catchers and Geese. The morning was eerie with the absence of birds. What's left of the Geese is shown in the picture - about 75% gone.
In what country does bird shit on a golf course constitute that bird being a pest? How the hell is this extreme measure able to proceed first with no attempts otherwise?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
