"This is the little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) in the Kasai Rinkai Park in Toyko Bay. A large park with wetlands, surrounded by city and full of birds (and bird hides). I met quite a few Japanese birders here. They were very helpful with IDs. The bird looks quite a lot like our black-fronted dotterel. Bird #48 in 2023."

Poll: Is the letterbox obsolete?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

Eddie Jones is right when he talks of NZ being affected as a country by the result of the Bledisloe Cup.

The All Blacks walloped Australia in Melbourne last Saturday to retain the biggest cup (size wise) in world sport.

And will this save the Labour-Greens Government from losing its ruling position at the political pools in October?

Rugby achievements have been a factor in the past and with 84,000 people viewing the contest live in Melbourne ( 40% of them AB supporters) and many millions watching on TV, the result was a boost for the the struggling current Government of NZ.

Jones, the Australian team coach. was not joking but it may be too late if the ABs also win the Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup in France on October 28 with the final coming two weeks too late before election day.

One will be in the large innovative Classic Cars Display building off Alexander Road in the commercial area in Trentham and the other will be in the developing Blue Mountains Campus on the ground floor of the Buddle Building. This cafe in Ward Street will have a partial garden setting.

So its going to be from scant pickings in cafes in these suburbs to a glut.
