Media notes
Recording for confirmation. Surprised enough to hear one here so close to farmland that I wanted proof! Call is heard twice. Recorded from near the hut, while walking down to the stream to look and listen. The hut is perhaps 10-20m from the closest point of the stream; call was coming from further downstream. Stream and some walking noises in background.
Observation details
Male whistle, heard repeatedly. Picked it up in a recording too. Went down to the stream, whistle was coming from downstream; it went quiet, the duck must have moved further away. Bit unexpected to hear one here, so close to the farmland. A sign of good things I hope! Update 27 August 2023: the suggestion from other Ruahine Whio Protector volunteers I've told about it is that it was coming out of the park to feed.
