Well, you've answered one query we had- after not being able to get near the grebes, we wondered if we had a kayak we'd be able to sneak up on them. Obviously not! Keep an eye out for up and coming blogs- I've had grebes coming out my ears! :)<br /><br />Yes, Ashburton Lakes are on the radar but probably not until the summer- which summer I'm not sure. And Erewhon Station has been marked for awhile, after driving a way up the river on the other side towards Mesopotamia Station I then set my sights on Erewhon.<br /><br />Give Tauranga a wave from me, I'm not sure if you're aware but Tauranga was our home before we left on this journey. Great city!

I'm sure we'll be back to explore further, we found that as we were getting closer and closer to Christchurch we were keen to get there to get various things sorted. And when we got there we were even keen to move on! :)FlyingKiwiGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596848732189181045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179578738149165660.post-39907709700315112342015-06-03T10:36:07.179+12:002015-06-03T10:36:07.179+12:00Thanks very much Grant, glad you've enjoyed th...Thanks very much Grant, glad you've enjoyed the photosand finding my bird albums in Flickr.

In 2008 we spent quite some time trying to sneak up on them while kayaking around the south-eastern shore of Lake Heron. A couple of pretty average photos resulted - they sure are shy. Not sure if you have gotten to the Ashburton Lakes area? Well worth it, but probably too snowy right now. Make sure you also go all the way to end of the road at Erewhon Station if you go that way.
