The photos are from Rosa Marie who took her camera to Zealandia to see one only of the only mainland populations in New Zealand.
Although they are widely distributed throughout the New Zealand region, and are very common on some islands, they are almost entirely absent from the two main islands.
One exception is Wellington, where birds from Zealandia and Matiu/Somes Islands are occasionally seen in suburban gardens.
We used some of this material to cover a foot stool.
The remaining piece of material measures 1.45m wide by 1.92m long.
This piece is in average condition - there are some marks on the back.
It is slightly darker than the pictures show.
We are a smoke-free and pet-free home.

A car crashed on Cobham Drive, outside St Patrick’s College, near the intersection of Evans Bay Pde in Kilbirnie on Sunday, resulting in the death of a 16 year-old.
Stuff understands the car involved had been previously stolen from an address in Miramar. Police report there were seven reports of stolen cars in Miramar last week.
It was the second fatal crash of the weekend with another death on Saturday following a two-car crash in Upper Hutt.
Wellingtom police subsequently released a statement calling on Wellingtons to take more care on the roads.
"Two grieving families and two funerals being planned before Christmas. We need to do better Wellington. It really is so simple."

Every year around this time organisations who care about the wellbeing of people and our city in the area of family harm come together to celebrate a day encouraging awareness and education.
Next week is White Ribbon week. It is a week when we have the opportunity as a country to think about ways we can support, learn, and acknowledge those who experience family harm.
Greg Finnigan the Service Manager at Man Kind, a house for men in Lower Hutt says “What men internalise about power and gender is often not good for them at all. The way men try to hold onto the power and control can be destructive for the whole family. It can destroy all the opportunities to show the love they feel and want to bring to the home. Society has changed, families have changed, men need to be curious how they might change.”
This year the White Ribbon campaign continues to focus on Respectful Relationships, relationships that are built on equality and fairness between women, men, and children. Our seeing and acknowledging these outdated beliefs of the past is a particular focus for us in 2020. Respectful relationships aren’t about manipulation and mind games - they require us to treat our partners as our equals by listening to each other and making decisions together.
The Whakatauki for us this year is - Ruia te taitea, ka tu taikaka anake / Shake off the old, to reveal the new. If we think of the #outdated ideas as something that needs to be removed, in the natural world that removal often allows new growth to occur. In other words, if we remove that which is holding us back, we can grow as human beings and develop what we call healthy masculinity. #Outdated messages like “Show them who’s boss” this will be overwritten with SHOW THEM YOU LOVE THEM and “Kids should keep quiet” – KIDS SHOULD BE HEARD (When a child asks a question, they are reaching out to us to learn something), or “Treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen?” - TREAT ‘EM EQUAL.
As part of the whanau event there will be local stories shared, kapa haka celebrated and heaps of family entertainment will be enjoyed along with a free sausage sizzle. We hope you and your family will make it along. It is worth celebrating respectful relationships, non-coercive, caring ways of relating in our community.
The convoy gets underway at 11.00am on Saturday 21st November starting from St Patrick’s Silverstream, with a whanau event beginning at 11.30-1.30pm at UH Primary school.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the 4WD movements and noise from the helicopter activity. While neighbours near the helicopter landing zone were advised of the exercise, residents further afield were also affected.
The exercise involved Police Search and Rescue personnel, Wellington LandSAR volunteers, New Zealand Airforce, Greater Wellington Regional Council, Amateur Radio and the Cross-Country Vehicle Club.
Training exercises provide and important opportunity for SAR personnel to learn new skills and test themselves in the environment and conditions likely to be encountered in a real search. As it happened, teams were deployed into the Tararua Ranges on Friday evening for a seriously injured tramper and again on Sunday for two people swept out to sea on the south coast of Wellington. Both rescues were successful.
We would like to thank local landowners that allowed the use of their properties and acknowledge the support of the Upper Hutt City Council who kindly made Karapoti Park available.
