Descrizione
The flat track starts at the Blenheim water treatment plant and takes you through the saltmarshes of the Wairau Lagoon. Along the many channels running through the area, you can find White-faced Heron and the less common Kotuku (Great Egret), with some luck even Glossy Ibis. On the larger bodies of water and the mudflats, you can find the typical waterfowl such as Black Swan and Australian Shoveler, but also many waders such as Bar-tailed Godwit, Pied Stilt, and oystercatchers. Also keep your eyes open for Cirl Bunting.
You can also combine this trail with the Kotuku trail, which follows the Opaoa River, at the mouth of the Wairau River into a larger loop.
