"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.

But once again it has engaged a reporter who quite often ignores the Hurricanes and in Monday's ;lengthy summary of the Super Pacific rugby round of matches, failed to mention The Hurricanes men who thrashed the Reds in Townsville last Saturday evening past just that.
Ok, make the next edition - Tuesday - a spot for the Hurricanes to be given some kind of review. But no, not a jot.
Is it good enough?
No wonder players like Billy Proctor cannot get a look in for the ABs.
