"Here's a twofer for my 2022 list. A pied stilt/poaka (Himantopus leucocephalus) and a South Island pied oystercatcher/tōrea (Haematopus finschi) keeping each other company at Sandfly Bay in Dunedin as the Sun goes down. Showing you don't even need to be the same species to get along - they remind me of me and my husband - he's the skinny one dozing off while I'm talking. Birds #27 and #28 for 2022."
Do not park in the Harvey Norman car park if you are also going to the Library . They have a person monitoring where you go. When you leave your vehicle for the library they give you a $65 dollar ticket. So how does a big chain store get more parks than the Public library? Who was part of that … View moreDo not park in the Harvey Norman car park if you are also going to the Library . They have a person monitoring where you go.

He reminded members that the first $1,000 we won in the Regional Finals of the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards in the Sport and Leisure category had been spent on the purchase of ERKs, perhaps to be sent to Tonga. The second $1,000 prize for winning the Final would be spent on other projects the Club is undertaking.
Jo congratulated the club on winning the award which is sponsored by Wellington Airport, Wellington Community Trust, and five local Councils. Judges comprise the five regional Mayors and representatives from the Community Trust and Wellington Airport. The Awards have been running for 17 years and this year there were 270 groups who applied. Jo commented that the applications reflected the enormous contribution that volunteers make around the region. She presented President Kay with a beautiful certificate which for the next little while is going to hang at The Lighthouse for all to admire. It should be noted that this was the first year that finalists had to produce a video and write their own script. Sincere thanks are due to Phillip for having produced and delivered this.
The editor has been reminded that this is not, of course, the first time that Te Ara Piko project has been honoured. We won the Wellington Airport Regional Community Heritage and Environment category Award in 2013 and the New Zealand Recreation Association Outstanding Project Award in 2015.

If spare time is a rarity - not to worry! This year’s Givealittle page is now live and we’re aiming to fundraise $25,000 for the Tasman Environment Trust. All money raised will go towards the purchase of bait and bait stations to continue and expand wasp control operations.

The council introduced the by-law just before Christmas citing the need to offset a rates increase of 7.65 per cent.
The council has subsequently taken a hammering on social media, with residents arguing that with Covid-19 impacting negatively on shopkeepers, paid parking would force people to shop elsewhere.
Councillors on Thursday morning resolved to suspend paid parking until March 2023.
