It has been a while since I posted a Friday Feathered Friend. This week it is a contribution from Louise Thomas.
"This is not the best photo of a variable oystercatcher - it's not even the best photo I took that day, but it is interesting. I noticed he/she was tagged - meet CT7. I snapped him/her in the Hutt Estuary on 12 January and sent a report off to the Banding Office as you do and got back a very interesting report about the bird.
He/she was banded on Bell Island, Waimea Inlet, Tasman on 28/05/2022 in his/her 2nd year. Sex is unknown. CT7 is a busy chap, since banding this bird has been re-sighted at Saxton Field, Stoke, Nelson on 28/06/2022 and 19/07/2022. This bird is part of a research study on the morphometrics, population trends, longevity and movements of variable oystercatchers in the Golden/Tasman Bays region.

So, if you see CT7 don't forget to report him/her to the banding office.
Variable oystercatcher/ tōrea (Haematopus unicolor). Bird #14 in 2023.

On behalf of Hutt City Council, we’re duplicating a section of old wastewater pipe (its 60 years old) from the Barber Grove Pumpstation down Randwick Road and Seaview Road - finishing at the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant.

From 10pm next Sunday (5 March) for up to four weeks, Seaview Road, between the Randwick Road roundabout and the Parkside Road roundabout will be closed to northbound traffic (Petone bound).

As a result, a signposted detour will be in place via Barnes Street.

Business access on Seaview Road will be available and maintained throughout the closure. Southbound traffic travelling towards Eastbourne remains on Seaview Road.

We acknowledge these works will be an inconvenience to commuters, local residents, and businesses, please be patient, and plan for delays.

Works are generally between 7am – 5:30pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturday work as required - this is dependent on weather and onsite construction conditions.
