This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 01 May 1958, page 8: "To whet the appetites of sportsmen for the coming shooting season, and in case many have forgotten since last year what they should aim at, here are some of the many ducks which daily gather at this time of the year in Memorial Park. With the first shots fired on Saturday, many more will take refuge at this sanctuary."
