"The Chief Porter and I have been hunting the Nankeen Night Heron for some time. Randomly calling into Ūpokongaro to the spot “Behind the Door on 4” where others before us have clocked the birds, but, for us, with no success. On Monday we were crest fallen to find the café shut, but thought we would head a little way up Makirikiri Valley Road and drop down into the gulley and scout along the stream that runs into the Whanganui River at Ūpokongaro.
The recent rain had made the stream brown and swollen, water was lapping up onto the shelf with the slight track covered in wandering willy (tradescentia). It was wet, slippery, and muddy and our pants were wet up to the knees just walking through the undergrowth. We were buzzed by fantails and wax-eyes, but saw nothing of the night herons behind the area where the café is.
We pushed a little further upstream, straddling rotten logs which crumbled under our feet and slipping in the thick wet weed. I was about to call time of death on the operation, when the Chief Porter spotted a creamy patch against the dark tangled trees overhanging the stream. It was like magic, three night herons materialised from the gloom, their bodies glowing like warm rich butterscotch.
All three had slicked back black hair, but one roosting in the tree, hunched over like an old man, also had two long thin white feathers waving down his back like crazy antennae. One was actively hunting in the stream, pulling at aquatic plants in the hope they might be tasty, the other perched above and moved along the branches quoorking encouragement about the activities below. Nankeen night heron (Nycticorax caledonicus)."

So decided to read the minutes of the meeting, in order to educate myself on:
1. Why the decision was made
2. Who voted for and who voted against.
Another disappointment: no accountability at all, and we voters, are left blind on who is doing what.
The minutes only record the number of "elected members" who voted for and against.
Really????? Where is the transparency?

Three times in a row and a few times before, I am getting two weekly Leader newpapers delivered in my mailbox.
I am thrilled that the Leader thinks of me so often and to top it off I am willing to sell for only $5 my spare current copy.

It’s called Plan Change 50. We’re seeking your feedback on our draft proposals now.
Two areas of significant interest for our community will be the high and medium density residential zones. We’re proposing to dramatically increase the level of intensification across the city.
To read the fact sheets for both of these zones and to share your feedback, go to letskorero.upperhuttcity.com/pc50
