Morepork—Expert Rat-Catcher
Captain Sanderson says that during the past few years a morepork has wintered in his bushy place at Paekakariki. The bird has proved much more skilful than a cat in killing mice and rats. After the morepork has been in its cosy winterquarters for a week no rodents are caught in the traps which are always left set for them where birds cannot be harmed.
