Observation details
A very crude estimate but one that is almost certainly a minimum. Two large flocks roosting on banks of expanded Turakina estuary, with birds flying in and out all the time, most to bathe in river. (Note added later: a rough count of one roosting flock from photographs gave ~267 birds, around 80% of which were apparent adults. The other flock seemed slightly smaller, hence 400 is considered a conservative minimum.)
