Yesterday, I quoted from Wikipedia including this sentence:
"The ensuing Battle of Waiorua, at the northern end of the island, ended with the rout and slaughter of the landing attackers who were disadvantaged by difficult terrain and weather plus divided leadership."

I understand their bodies were put into this lagoon.
What am I going on about? Ep3 tomorrow evening. You might like to prepare by investigating the word "Orbs" on Google.

In 1824 an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 warriors, making up a coalition of tribes from the East Coast, Whanganui, the Horowhenua, southern Taranaki[6] and Te Wai Pounamu (the South Island), assembled at Waikanae, with the object of taking Kapiti Island. Crossing in a flotilla of war canoes under cover of darkness, they were met as they disembarked by a force of Ngāti Toa fighters led or reinforced by Te Rauparaha. The ensuing Battle of Waiorua, at the northern end of the island, ended with the rout and slaughter of the landing attackers who were disadvantaged by difficult terrain and weather plus divided leadership.[7] This decisive victory left Te Rauparaha and the Ngāti Toa able to dominate Kapiti and the adjacent mainland.

"A couple of days ago I just spent some time watching a blackbird hovering around our grapevine and helping herself to the juicy grapes. I was fascinated at how adept she was at skinning them too! I got a that shot showed a skinless grape, which I thought she would swallow, but she dropped it like a hot potato and ate the skin instead."

"Anyone who knows anything about shags, especially the big ones, knows that I risk much to bring you this unique angle. Nearly had to ride home in my underwear with all the windows down - it's happened before. Pied shag/ kāruhiruhi (Phalacrocorax varius) at the Waimanu Lagoons at Waikanae. Bird #34 in 2023."
