"The White Faced Heron, was the bird that really set me off and into Bird Photography. A fantastic hunter, and full of grace and stealth, these birds are fantastic to watch. The White Faced Heron led me to the late great Geoff Moon, who was one of the worlds best Bird Photographers. Fortunately Geoff lived in New Zealand! What a gentleman, conservationist and mentor he was.
It was Geoff who stirred my passion for nature, and birds in particular.
Today observing this White Faced Heron at Petone's Hikoikoi Reserve, took me back to my roots. This particular bird didn't disappoint either, taking crab after crab, through guile and instinct, and at speed!"

Hi there,
I'm writing a story on what's it like to live with a loud voice. Are you someone who gets high-pitched whenever you are excited? Does your family constantly nag you to dial down your voice? Or are you someone who's annoyed by your loved ones' loud talking?

Wellington region and especially Upper Hutt, doesn't need water meters to control tap water supply.
Put forward the many millions of dollars to be spent on installing meters at every property towards fixing the disintegrating pipes that cause a waste of over 40% of water supplied to Wellington, Lower Hutt and Porirua in particular.
Create another one- two emergency water lakes to go with the couple already established.
Set up water catchment tanks in the Tararuas.

Hi Upper Hutt!
I've had a house/cat sitter for 20-23 October (Labour Weekend) unfortunately fall through so I'm looking for a catsitter to come and stay with my two rescue kitties, Maeve (black and white) and Luna (tabby). They grew up in a colony before being taken in by a cat rescue … View moreHi Upper Hutt!
I've had a house/cat sitter for 20-23 October (Labour Weekend) unfortunately fall through so I'm looking for a catsitter to come and stay with my two rescue kitties, Maeve (black and white) and Luna (tabby). They grew up in a colony before being taken in by a cat rescue and are still pretty weary of people at first so any sitters must be willing and able to come and meet them and me before the sitting dates please.
I have a lovely 2 bedroom house in Trentham/Wallaceville, pretty close to Upper Hutt city (about a 20 min walk) and Wallaceville train station (a 10 minute walk).
Looking for a quiet non-smoking sitter, preferably a single person as that's what the cats are used to. They are shut inside at night and are pretty good at turning up for dinner (I shut the cat door before feeding them) or coming when their names are called or treat bags are shaken (if they're just having a really good time outside!).
Bonus if you can water and keep an eye on my (novice) gardening efforts, which will generally be feline supervised if they're still outside.
After Labour weekend, I do have a few more sets of potential dates for sitting, including at some point over the Xmas/holiday period, so finding someone willing to discuss/look at future sitting dates would be lovely for continuity.
Please message me if interested and available, as well as with any questions.
Thanks!
