"This bird is believe it, or not, I believe is Black Tern! "The Black Tern is one of four marsh tern species found worldwide and the rarest in New Zealand, with one accepted sighting north of Wellington in 2022. When breeding it is a small black tern with grey wings. It is pale in non-breeding plumage (as was the only local record).
Like the closely related white-winged black tern, the black tern can be found in a range of freshwater and estuarine habitats. The nominate form breeds in Eurasia, migrating to Africa to winter, while the North America subspecies migrates to Central and South America" We now have at least three birds in New Zealand, as I spotted three individual birds with the flock of White Fronted Terns. So rare in NZ. Very rapt, and a great find."

During the February challenge the school's staff rode 590 kilometres, with a 12 percent participation rate. Throughout Kāpiti, cyclists made the most of our sunshine days and beautiful tracks and trails, clocking up over 50,000 kilometres of riding overall.
Ka rawe team, keep up the great cycling! 🚲 🚲 🚲

After 20 years of planning, fundraising and design, and 18 months' construction, the new Mahara Gallery was blessed this week by Kāpiti kaumatua Te Rakauoteora Te Maipi (Koro Don). A public reopening is expected later this year, once the space has its final touches.

This practical completion stage means the Mahara Gallery Trust can start moving back into the gallery and working on the all-important climate control systems. When the climate is stable, the Trust can move their taonga back and set up exhibitions.
Ngā mihi to those who've helped reach this milestone. It's a testament to the dedicated efforts of many, many people who've worked to achieve the vision of a museum-quality arts space in Kāpiti. To find out more about this project, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Traffic on Iver Trask Place has been reconfigured, but the one-way system remains in place for now. Some car parks have been reinstated and our contractors will reopen more as work progresses. Work is expected to reach Rimu Road in mid May.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as our crews progress this important project. It’s part of our plan to reduce flooding in the Amohia and Ruahine Street catchment areas, and help prepare our district to live with more water.

Hi Everyone,
We currently are getting rid of some deleted tiles that are great for fire hearths or crafty art projects.
