Eastbourne Possum trapping in East harbour reserve
This lovely walk of about 7 hours I had done already so I knew what to expect from the walking uphills and downhills. The last time we did this project it was extremely humid, but this time it was a lovely sunny day, which is unusual, but also a nice breeze to cool us down.
We did have 4 new people from the last time, so they were not quite sure what to expect and where very happy once we reached the top of the hill and having the beautiful views of Wellington harbour and city. On the way to our trap lines, we came across other lines. We found a possum in one of these traps hanging from the tree. It was not a very nice sight, as they look so cute. Especially seeing that the day before at Nga Manu I had see a live one in the reserve. Toby then released the animal from the trap. On our lines thankfully we did not find any possums.
