"A visit to Silverstream yesterday afternoon to see if I could find some kingfishers and I was rewarded by the sight of several of them on powerlines, swooping down to grab tasty morsels, but couldn't get close enough to any of them to get decent shots so these photos are heavily cropped. At one point a kingfisher was sharing his line with a huge group of Starlings! I loved watching the two magpies displaying teamwork when tearing at a clump of grasses! As I walked through St Pats, the sparrows were enjoying a dustbath!"
Thank you, Aotearoa.

Further donations will help the trust restore the land to its former forested glory.

What's your opinion on street art? Are there any spots in your community that could do with a mural?
Construction sites and other disused structures around Wellington are getting facelifts, with local artists putting their touch on areas in a state of flux.
Wellington based artists Xoë Hall, Miriama Grace-Smith and Gina Kiel make up part of the Love Local: City Artwork initiative, with their work set to add vibrancy to revamps around the city.
The collaboration between Wellington City Council and WellingtonNZ has $60,000 which covers printing, installation and commission.

What would you like to see happen to St Gerard's
The historic church has closed because of its earthquake-prone status. Its owners made the decision after the owners struggled to raise the $11 million to $13m needed to pay for strengthening work. Only $42,000 had been donated by July 2020.
