Crake day

Louise from Woburn

Normally I only find crakeless spots, but not on Sunday. Sunday was crake day. Not one, not two, not three, but four spotless crakes/pūweto (Porzana tabuensis) came out to feed in a pond at Pauatahanui. A new bird for my life list. These native fresh-water swamp birds are so secretive, that we don't actually know how many there are. It is thought they are declining though because of lack of wetlands.

Kiwirail don't care about our community. Ava bridge.

Mike from Alicetown

From Kiwirail. Received today February 10th.

Work on the Ava railway bridge is scheduled to begin later this month, meaning that the walkway will be closing from 24 February.



We’re mindful that the walkway is well used by the community. The upgrade to the bridge is essential and urgent, and involves replacing the sleepers that the walkway is attached to – to keep the rail bridge in good working order for commuter trains we have to do the maintenance work now.



We are continuing to talk with Hutt City Council and are open to replacing the walkway in the future in a way that is safe and compliant. Funding for a replacement would need to be sourced via Hutt City Council as KiwiRail is only funded for work on the rail corridor, and public walkways sit outside of that.

🤬🤬🤬🤬
So mindful that they didn't mention it in nearly ten months of chat with the council.

what country am I,
a world apart?
