Went for a hunt this morning, not a duck to be seen. 2 swans and a few geese well out of range. Pulled the pin and went to lake Rerewhakaaitu for a jump shoot but the lake is so low theres 30m beach so they see you well before your in range, that and the spur winged plovers squawking over head to warn all. Went into someone's maimai which is a new build on the waters edge with the old maimai behind at the edge of the beach/ scrub. Loads of geese and swans well out of range. Then gracefully a swan appeared 10m away and I was just about to jump up and do the Haka to get it to fly when in tow was 4 cygnets. Kinda cute white and not very old. Not a shot fired but a enjoyable few hours. Tomorrow another day another lake which looks to have some ducks on my drive past
