  Surfing the Severn Bore, II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
At the first point, Newnham on Severn, we got our play boats out of the car and the water from last Saturday's paddle was frozen solid in sheets of ice in the bottom of my boat, ouch I had to take a picture!
That put me on the front wave alone which was now green and unbroken with one lone long board surfer on the other side of the river (other kayakers had now fallen off).
The whole river was now flowing upstream like a big volume river in New Zealand or a European River and I was now amongst fridges, trees and other flotsam.

 Harteman Wildfowl - New Zealand Brown Teal - Anas chlorotis
And whilst the destruction/modification of New Zealand wetlands, together with excessive hunting, has impacted heavily on brown teal survival, the greatest factor in the brown teals race towards extinction has been the importation and spread of feral cats, mustelids (ferrets, stoats and weasels), and rats.
In the early 1800’s brown teal were possibly the most abundant duck species in New Zealand and whilst the brown teal population declined steadily from the late 1800’s it accelerated from the 1950’s to a level, where over the past 15 years, numbers declined from a population of c2,500 to c1,200.
Besides being endemic/unique to the New Zealand landscape, it is mainly the behavioural features of brown teal, which set it apart from all other species of dabbling duck, and in a class of its own.
