Beschreibung
The McGregor Stream inlet into Lake Tekapo and Lake McGregor is one of the best places in Aotearoa New Zealand to see the endangered but recovering Kakī (Black Stilt). These striking waders are now present nearly year-round, though winter might not be the best time to visit. Also other waders like South Island Oystercatcher and Wrybill breed in the area and are present in spring. You can combine birding with a walk around Lake McGregor, which takes about 1–1.5 hours, or stay at the adjacent campground.
The lake sits between rolling hills just before the mountains, offering spectacular views. The lakes attract a good numbers of swimming friends including Australian Shoveler and Pūteketeke (Great Crested Grebe), along with other long-legged friends such as Royal Spoonbill and Pied Stilt, diving friends like Little Pied Cormorant, and the regular singing friends.
