Protected bird euthanised after found with shotgun pellet injury
X-rays revealed a shattered wing joint where shotgun pellets were found. Based on veterinary advice, the bird was euthanised. 'The bird was quite underweight so we believe it may have been injured for several days before it was found,' Langman said. Royal spoonbills are protected under the Wildlife Act, and hunting or killing a protected species can result in a fine of up to $100,000 or two years in prison. Fish & Game Auckland / Waikato chief executive David Klee said shooting protected birds was unacceptable. 'Hunters must clearly identify their target and there is no excuse for shooting a royal spoonbill, which bears no resemblance to waterfowl species that can be legally hunted. 'Our Code of Conduct states licence holders must ensure they can accurately identify and distinguish game birds from protected species. 'We have very few incidents like this, but it can bring everyone in the hunting community into disrepute.' Fish & Game compliance officers have been working alongside DoC staff since the opening of the duck hunting season to ensure hunters are following the rules. A team is on call at weekends and will investigate any incidents. Royal spoonbills are a mobile species found in increasing numbers around New Zealand, and are identifiable through their unique bill, long black legs and white plumage. They feed by distinctively swishing their bill from side to side, while wading through shallow water. People who have information about the incident in which the bird was shot are urged to call 0800 DOC HOT, or email wildlifecrime@ and quote case number CLE-9126.

Mariners hold City in thrilling ALW semi first leg
Central Coast will head to Melbourne believing they can spark a mighty upset and reach the A-League Women grand final after fighting out a 2-2 draw with Melbourne City in their semi-final first leg. The Mariners, who drew twice with unbeaten premiers City in the regular season, took an early lead through Brooke Nunn in the 20th minute of their home leg at Gosford's Industree Group Stadium on Saturday. But the visitors equalised through Leticia McKenna's stunning free kick in the 29th, before Bryleeh Henry put them in front six minutes later. 👑 LETICIA MCKENNA, YOU ARE UNREAL. #ALW | #CCMvMCY | 🟡 1-2 🩵 | 🎥 @10FootballAU — Melbourne City FC (@MelbourneCity) May 3, 2025 Nunn brilliantly drew the Mariners level from a tight angle in the 54th minute. The winner of the tie on aggregate will face Melbourne Victory or Adelaide United, who play their first leg at Coopers Stadium on Sunday, in the grand final. City pulled a selection shock, with golden boot leader Holly McNamara named on the bench after suffering a "niggle" in training, while winger Lourdes Bosch didn't train through "soreness". The Mariners were without important midfielder/defender Taylor Ray through injury. Both sides traded early chances before the hosts, led by star midfielder Isabel Gomez, snatched the lead. Annalise Rasmussen nutmegged Rebekah Stott, drove down the left and slipped through Gomez, who squared it for Jade Pennock. The Englishwoman's strike was well saved by Malena Mieres but Nunn was on hand to tap home the rebound. It was the ninth time City had fallen behind this season - the previous eight they were able to come back and avoid defeat. Gomez pounced on a City turnover shortly after and looped a long-range effort over the bar. From distance, McKenna stepped up to take a free kick and let rip with a wonderful strike that Langman never looked like stopping. Then, Henry went on a wonderful run down the left before rounding Langman to score her fifth goal in eight games. Nine minutes into the second half, the Mariners levelled. Rasmussen released Pennock who slipped through Nunn with a wonderful, incisive pass. Nunn rounded Mieres then cut onto her right and finished from a tight angle. Cool, calm and composed from our Number 21 🥶Brooke Nunn with her second and listen to the noise from the Mariners Family! 💛#CCMFC #CCMvMCY #RideTheWave🌊 — Central Coast Mariners (@CCMariners) May 3, 2025 Pennock forced a save from Mieres in the 57th minute, while Langman denied Karly Roestbakken in the 64th. Rasmussen unleashed a wicked strike just wide in the 66th minute, just before City unleashed McNamara. But neither team could find a late breakthrough.
