Friday Feathered Friend

Reporter Community News

Rosa Marie checked out the Pāuatahanui Inlet recently. Don't you just love the spoonbill picture?
"It seemed like a kotare kind of afternoon at the Pāuatahanui Inlet today! Trying to get nice and close to my Kingfisher friends as they were hunting for crabs as the evening was drawing in. At one stage, there were as many as 3 sitting on a piece of driftwood!
A lone spoonbill was spotted having a feed in the distance before it took off"

Normandale Road lights out again 24/2/26

Sandra from Normandale

Guess what, as the oldest dweller, well one of, in Normandale, it is always me who rings the council when the street lights go out for a week or more.
