Tree climbers love their job because every day its different! When well-known Auckland arborist Zane Wedding set off to work yesterday he did not expect to be on TV rescuing a shag stranded in the branches of a Pohutakawa overhanging a cliff at Bucklands Beach, Auckland.
The SPCA had put in an urgent call to Treetools looking for a tree climber to rescue the shag.
Zane Wedding was in the Bucklands Beach area and immediately took up the challenge. What Zane did not know was that Animal Rescue would be on site with a full TV production crew! Thankfully, his first throwline landed on target and the shag was freed without incidence.
There's nothing boring about being a tree climber - what a job!
