In the three years 1951–3 206 harriers have been caught and marked at two trapping stations in Hawke’s Bay. Thirty-five birds have so far been recovered and a further 14 were recaught in subsequent years where ringed. The returns indicate that the old birds tend to stay within a radius of about five miles but a proportion of the young ones disperse up to several hundred miles from where they were ringed.
