Pauatahanui Wildlife Reserve

We also visited the reserve today and Wales along a track past all the Wetlands plants that we learned about last term. We went into a little hut called a hide and we peered out through special observing gaps in the walls. We saw a pie stilt and a heron and we heard some unique bird calls. Because some tracks were damaged in the recent flooding we went across the road to St Albans Church area. The church was built in the very same place that Te Rangihaeata had built his first pa in the area. We looked at he burial ground and noticed that many people died at a young age back in the late 1800s. It was very interesting to think about these people and what it was like back in those times in Pauatahanui.
