Hi,
We recently returned from a short holiday to New Zealand. We were
surprised by the apparent abundance of Swamp Harriers as well as their
apparent abundance in all types of habitat, from swamps and streams and
even across large dry tussock grass areas such as in Central Otago and
the Little Desert area in the rain shadow to the east of the central
volcano area.
I was wondering whether the apparent abundance was real or only
apparent, and whether their habitat preference has broadened, possibly
in response to reduced competition due to the paucity of other raptors.
Does anyone have any information on this.
Cheers
Andrew
