hi there'
just a quick update, my partner spoke to th head of doc in nelson who referred him onto another doc worker, he asked about the website we were given to use to register the interest of those people who were keen to become volunteers to search for the south island kokako in the nelson and surrounding areas,apparently the website we were given isnt designed for people to register their interest in helping with the search, only log in a sighting of the bird or those who would like to sponser the search,he is still looking for volunteers to help,,after that he will arrange a meeting time place day for the volunteers to have a get together and sort out some training and an area to do it in
please do contact me though the neighbourly leave name and contact detail so he can get in touch with you
