PHOTO: LAURA SMITHAn Invercargill park’s duck pond has been cleaned for the first time in three decades. About 60 eels had to be relocated when the pond was recently cleaned for the first time in 30 years. The main duck pond was built between 1912 and 1917. All the eels were caught and relocated to the top main aviary pond at Queens Park. "This will allow them to use the existing waterways and ponds to move down to the duck pond if they wish to do so," he said.
