Blue Duck Release - Jake

On Tuesday 24 6 kids from room 11 went up to Egmont National Park at the end of York Road. We walked for about an hour to the river. We were on the river bank when one of the D.O.C. rangers did a demonstration on how we were to release the blue duck out of the box.

Blue duck are endangered because of all their pests. Their biggest pest is the stoat. The Stoat waits for the mother to hop off the eggs and then the stoat eats the eggs and can even kill the mother.
