A VIB annual visitor - White heron/kōtuku
A graceful and nationally critical (less than 200 birds) very important visitor has graced the Hutt Estuary in late Summer/early autumn for the last few years - the white heron/kōtuku. Sometimes he likes to wander up the Te Mome Stream where he has apparently made friends with some of the residents there. Here he is this past April - waiting out the rain on his boat.
Happy Days DAZE?
Seen in a charity shop recently.
Caught my eye to ONE have Lower Hutt and my suburb Normandale.
ONLY THE BEST of course.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
