Te Waihora is without a doubt the most important wetland complex in the Canterbury Region for Matuku- bittern. These large heron like birds are spectacular to see as they suddenly fly up out of reed beds. The Harts Creek wildlife Reserve and adjoining wetlands is a stronghold within Te Waihora for bitterns. This bird was photographed feeding amongst watercress, adjoining a small spring creek flowing into the lake, in early April 2011
