Ruru falls from tree, rescuers move in
A baby morepork was rescued after falling from a tree in Eastbourne on Christmas Eve.
Lower Hutt Kereru Rescue Coordinator Hayden James said a jogger came upon the baby morepork, or ruru, on a ridgeline track behind Eastbourne, on the eastern side of Wellington Harbour, on Christmas Eve. The ruru, later named Hoodini, had been kicked out of its nest and fallen about 20m on to the ground.
The rescue centre was called in and cared for it.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
