BIRDS IN ESTUARY
Effects Of Development Migratory wading birds which nest and feed on the estuary may not be able to find alternative ground in the area if the estuary becomes an aquatic playground, as suggested by the Canterbury Progress League. This opinion was expressed by Mr W. Harris, secretary of the Canterbury branch of the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society, after a field trip by members to the estuary at the week-end. Mr Harris said that swan and geese, however, would benefit by the proposed development of the estuary. The society was not oppoe ing the scheme officially yet, but would discuss it further.
