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.

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
