This includes the municipal area of Cleveland Dam in the southwestern part and Haka Game park to the north of that. These areas remain reasonably undisturbed and were our main recording areas. On the northern side are various specialist areas such as rifle ranges and racing tracks. These were rarely visited by us. The greater part of the eastern side of the area is intensively cultivated and more or less treeless. Few records come from this area. |
