Photo: Genevieve LaursenTwo of Albert Town Camping Ground’s most recognisable guests have decided to return for another summer. A pair of endangered karearea (New Zealand falcons) have returned to nest in a fallen log near the Hawea River swing bridge in the Albert Town reserve. A group of tall pine trees close to the log provided the birds with the perfect look-out spot and could be the reason they decided to return, she said. There were a few instances of people being injured by the birds last year, so it paid to be cautious, Ms Chaffey said.
