Cuddling wax-eyes/tauhou
It's hard to pick what to show you guys next - there are over sixty species in the Hutt alone to get through so buckle-up. Wax-eyes, aka silvereyes or tauhou - I can guarantee that most people's gardens, if you have trees, will have some of these cuties. The pairs are very affectionate with each other and build little cup-shaped nests in the hedges - we have a couple of nests in our camellia trees at the moment. They make lovely squeaky chirping noises. They're also a great bird to practice on if you are taking up bird photography. These two are just from my garden in Woburn.

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!
Speed limits around NaeNae
Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
