Choice News Tuesday: Spring is in full swing, and the birds are getting busy šŸ£

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Springā€™s here, and with it comes warmer weather and lots of activity from our birds. Itā€™s a great time to get outsideā€”many birds are easier to spot as they build nests, raise their chicks, or return from their Arctic adventures šŸ‘€

Keen to do some backyard birdwatching? The Department of Conservation have put together a nifty guide on how to plan and plant a garden that attracts native birds.

We hope this brings a smile!

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
