A fly in the ointment

It’s a fair bet that on any beautiful summer’s day insects will make an unwelcome visit. So it’s no surpose that Wānaka’s own selection of live cams should suffer the same issue – albert for just a single frame. We spotted this bug in the system in the time lapse view of Lake Wānaka from Roys Peak on the excellent www.lakewanaka.co.nz site.
