Maungatauhoro - Waiwera

Needed a break this weekend so we packed up and went to the family batch at Waiwera for the weekend with friends. On Saturday morrning I went for a walk over Maungatauhoro; the hill between Waiwera and Wenderholm.

There had been a number of easterlies over the winter and as such many of the trees where suffering damage from the salty wind.

The hill once had a Maori Pa on it and I have recorded a Midden site.

There are more photos on my other camera. These will be loaded latter.

Description

This spot is right above a Kereru roost. As such there is an acumulation of seeds and seedlings that have come from the feses of the birds. Here they are eating a lot of Nikau. Also present is Tarairei, Karaka, Mapou, Kahikatea, Kawakawa, and Mahoe.

I always look for these spots when walking to find seed for my nursary. I did not take any from this one though.
