From the Archives - D-Day for Ducks

In 1973 Alan Wilkes was out with his Labrador Zara and comrades at the opening of the duck shooting season.

In this story from the archives of Spectrum, a long-running RNZ documentary programme, producer Jack Perkins records a slice of life in the maimai with Alan on Kohangatera, a network of lagoons along the Palliser Bay coast.
