Poll: Were you cold this morning?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton has shivered through its coldest morning of the year so far, plunging to -3.2C overnight - the lowest temperature recorded in the city this winter.

But the chilliest spot in the Waikato region wasn’t Hamilton. That title went to Taupō, which dropped to -4.6C on Friday morning, the lowest reading across the region this winter.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
