One of New Zealand's rarest birds has laid an egg!
The tara iti/New Zealand fairy tern is on the brink of extinction with fewer than 40 birds alive.
So there was much celebration about the first egg of the season, laid at Waipu by birds known as Mr and Mrs Red due to the red identification bands on their legs.
Some Choice News!
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!
