Grant's Bush Reserve in Trentham is taking on a new look.
The mostly poorly trimmed grass and weeds are still there but up has sprung a basketball half court and a children's playground.

The plaground is small but surprising for its extra "equipment". And there are swings suitable for big people.

According to a playground contractor, the UHCC were forced into providing these amentities by the Wallaceville Estate developers who had included them in their promotion of the estate.

The Council will also provide at least one litter dispenser and litter bin.

In another development, Blue Mountains Campus developer is fencing off all of its property which includes a large tract of grass and many trees. This means people will not be able to short cut to school or the rail station thru part or all of the campus unless they can climb fences.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With universities starting up last week, so brings first-time flatters trying their hand at cooking for the first time. In 2020, 27% of a household’s weekly budget was spent on takeaways so it’s no wonder that cooking is becoming a bit of a lost art.

It has been a while since I posted a Friday Feathered Friend. This week it is a contribution from Louise Thomas.
"This is not the best photo of a variable oystercatcher - it's not even the best photo I took that day, but it is interesting. I noticed he/she was tagged - meet CT7. I snapped him/her in the Hutt Estuary on 12 January and sent a report off to the Banding Office as you do and got back a very interesting report about the bird.
He/she was banded on Bell Island, Waimea Inlet, Tasman on 28/05/2022 in his/her 2nd year. Sex is unknown. CT7 is a busy chap, since banding this bird has been re-sighted at Saxton Field, Stoke, Nelson on 28/06/2022 and 19/07/2022. This bird is part of a research study on the morphometrics, population trends, longevity and movements of variable oystercatchers in the Golden/Tasman Bays region.

So, if you see CT7 don't forget to report him/her to the banding office.
Variable oystercatcher/ tōrea (Haematopus unicolor). Bird #14 in 2023.

Last night ( Tuesday) around 4am - the burglars hour - five low life guys stole a trailer which harboured a kayak and also nabbed another nearby vehicle from Fenwick Cres in Wallaceville Estate, Trentham.

The group high-tailed it up to Alexander Road via Hopkirk Ave and thence up Wallaceville Road which takes one over to the eastern valleys of Upper Hutt.

This is one of a growing number of thieving in this particular area. The paucity of use of garaging for what is intended, renders many vehicles vulnerable for low life theft.
