"This is the little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) in the Kasai Rinkai Park in Toyko Bay. A large park with wetlands, surrounded by city and full of birds (and bird hides). I met quite a few Japanese birders here. They were very helpful with IDs. The bird looks quite a lot like our black-fronted dotterel. Bird #48 in 2023."
Hi there,

We're on the lookout for the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, and would love to hear your favourites.
While it will be impossible to include all of them in one article, we'd appreciate your help in narrowing it down. What do you think are most beautiful places in NZ's regions? Do you have a favourite spot in the Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury, Southland or elsewhere?
Feel free to comment below, send me a message or email me at lorna.thornber@stuff.co.nz. Please include 'NFP' in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in an article. Thanks in advance for taking the time to share.
With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?
Heart attack is a leading cause of death in New Zealand.
Learn to recognise the warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack, so you know what to do if you see or experience them. Don’t try to walk it off, wash it off or push through it. Make the right call, it may save your life.
Eddie Jones is right when he talks of NZ being affected as a country by the result of the Bledisloe Cup.

The All Blacks walloped Australia in Melbourne last Saturday to retain the biggest cup (size wise) in world sport.
And will this save the Labour-Greens Government from losing its ruling position at the political pools in October?
Rugby achievements have been a factor in the past and with 84,000 people viewing the contest live in Melbourne ( 40% of them AB supporters) and many millions watching on TV, the result was a boost for the the struggling current Government of NZ.
Jones, the Australian team coach. was not joking but it may be too late if the ABs also win the Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup in France on October 28 with the final coming two weeks too late before election day.

One will be in the large innovative Classic Cars Display building off Alexander Road in the commercial area in Trentham and the other will be in the developing Blue Mountains Campus on the ground floor of the Buddle Building. This cafe in Ward Street will have a partial garden setting.
So its going to be from scant pickings in cafes in these suburbs to a glut.

Afterall there are thousands of former South Africans living in the Wellington region and only a handful of Swedes.
The spectators ambled past me in my volunteering role. Apparantly some 19,000 turned up - many if them children of all ages.
Then I looked at the South African players and coach and they were a complete contrast to that of the Swedish team. And without going into details therein may lie the reason for much less fanfare given by locals to one of the sides in a closely contested game with the heavily favoured Swedes winning 2-1 with rheir secong goal coming in the last few minutes of play. The SA team had played well above its ranking and deserved a lot of credit.
The weather too did not favour the SA side. Cold and wet.
