"North Island saddleback/Tīeke (Philesturnus rufusater) at Bushy Park on 12 July. Not the best shot of a saddleback I've taken, but they can be tricky busy birds, continuously moving in the dark undergrowth, tossing over leaves and dark mysterious lumps looking for tasty ground grubs. They usually only take off into a tree like this when being chased by one of their contemporaries in a noisy altercation about turf. Bird #87 in 2022."

Pinky, female mixed breed, four months old.
"I am small but mighty, full of excitement and curiosity for life. I am sure to make a great addition to a lucky household. My siblings and I have been fostered until we were big enough and old enough to find homes. We have been able to have a start in a home environment before coming back to SPCA for rehoming. As I am still young, I will need a home where I am not left alone for more than a few hours this is until I am older and settled into my new home. I am super social and love having a good play so I could go to a home with an existing gentle dog, or a confident cat. I still have a lot to learn so would love a home that has the time and patience to enroll me in puppy school, this is to help me become the best companion I know I can be."

Mary Potter Hospice now has a “re-gift” card which you can buy for $5 and load with any amount to spend at any of eight Hospice Shops. I've just given one to my 6 year old grandson, who is delighted and can't wait to use it at his local Hospice shop.

Re-gift cards are also the perfect gifts for corporate partners or clients. Next time you're looking for a gift, shopping at a Hospice shop is such good value and an opportunity to support the great work the Hospice does in the Wellington region.
