Beschreibung

Travis Wetland is an easily accessible wetland in north eastern Christchurch home to a wide variety of waterbirds, the most surprising of which is the introduced Cape Barren Goose, which can be seen associating with other types of geese. A bird hide makes for great viewing of photography of waterfowl such as Paradise Shelduck and Grey Teal, as well as Welcome Swallow which nest and fly around the hide, making for great photography opportunities of a usually hard to photograph bird.

There is a plan to turn Travis Wetland, as well as a portion of the Christchurch Red Zone into an ecosanctuary, which would have species such as Brown Teal and New Zealand Kaka.
