Last week a consortium of people attempted to Catch South Island Pied Oystercatchers (SIPO)on the New Brighton Spit. The catchers included people from DOC, Birds NZ and Christchurch City Council. The plan was to use a cannon net to catch them while they roosted at high tide at the end of the Spit. The plan worked with 99 birds colour flagged and 10 fitted with GPS tracking packs.
