No new kid on the block
For me the upper Ashburton lakes has been an area that has fascinated me since the early 1980's when I used to go up with my father on fishing trips to Lake Heron and Camp.. Found this blast from the past- doing a black-billed gull colony count on the upper South Branch of the Ashburton river -1989
