Ngā rerekētanga o te hekenga o ngā Whimbrel i te ara rere o Āhia ki te Rawhiti – Ahitereiria i roto i ngā wā me ngā taupori.

Pukapuka:Rangahau Manu, 11(1), wh.1-12.

Momo (Manu):Ngā Whimbrels (Numenius phaeopus variegatus)

Whakarāpopototanga:

He uaua te tiaki i ngā manu heke nā te mea e whakawhirinaki ana rātou ki ngā wāhi tawhiti maha i ngā wāhanga rerekē o tō rātou huringa oranga ā-tau. Ko te ariā o te "ara rere", e pā ana ki ngā wāhi katoa e hipokina ana e te whakatipuranga, te kore whakatipuranga, me te hekenga o ngā manu, e whakarato ana i tētahi anga mō te mahi tahi o te ao mō te tiaki taiao. Heoi, i roto i te ara rere kotahi, ka rerekē pea ngā mahi hekenga o te momo kotahi i waenga i ngā wā me ngā taupori. He āwhina te whakamārama i ngā rerekētanga o te wā me te taupori i roto i te hekenga hei mārama ki te rauropi hekenga me te tautuhi i ngā āputa tiaki taiao. Ngā Tikanga Mā te whakamahi i te aroturuki amiorangi i aroturukihia e mātou te hekenga o ngā Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus variegatus) mai i ngā wāhi kore whakatipuranga i Moreton Bay (MB) me Roebuck Bay (RB) i Ahitereiria i te Ara Rere o Āhia ki te Rawhiti – Ahitereiria. I whakamahia ngā whakamātautau mantel hei tātari i te kaha o te hononga hekenga i waenga i ngā wāhi kore whakatipuranga me ngā wāhi whakatipuranga o ngā taupori MB me RB. I whakamahia te whakamātautau-t a Welch hei whakataurite i ngā mahi hekenga i waenga i ngā taupori e rua me te hekenga ki te raki me te hekenga ki te tonga. Ngā Hua I te wā o te hekenga ki te raki, he roa ake te tawhiti me te roa o te hekenga mō te taupori MB i te taupori RB. Ko te tawhiti me te roa o te rerenga tuatahi i te wā o te hekenga ki te raki he roa ake mō te taupori MB i te taupori RB, e kī ana he nui ake te wahie i whakatakotoria e ngā tāngata MB i mua i te wehenga atu i ngā wāhi kore-whakatupu hei tautoko i tā rātou rere roa tonu. I whakaatuhia e te taupori RB he ngoikore ake te hononga hekenga (ko ngā wāhi whakaputa uri e horapa ana i runga i te whānuitanga o te 60 roa) i te taupori MB (ko ngā wāhi whakaputa uri e aro ana ki te whānuitanga o te 5 roa i Rūhia ki te Rawhiti). Ki te whakataurite ki te taupori MB, he nui ake te whakawhirinaki o te taupori RB ki ngā wāhi taunga i te Moana Kōwhai me ngā rohe takutai moana i Haina, i reira kua tino ngaro te nohonga tai. Heoi, i piki ake te taupori RB i te mea kua heke te taupori MB i ngā tekau tau kua pahure ake nei, e kī ana he iti ake te pānga o te ngaronga o te nohonga tai i ngā wāhi taunga ki ngā taupori Whimbrel, ka taea te whakamahi i ngā momo nohonga rerekē. Ko ngā ia rerekē i waenga i ngā taupori ka puta pea i ngā taumata rerekē o te pēhanga hopu manu i roto i ō rātou whenua whakaputa uri. Ngā Whakatau E whakaatu ana tēnei rangahau ka taea te whakapai ake i ngā mahi tiaki taiao mā te mārama ki te huringa ora katoa o ngā nekehanga o ngā taupori Whimbrel maha, me ētahi atu manu heke pea.
