Friday Feathered Friend

Reporter Community News

Louise Thomas posted this picture during a recent trip to Japan. The plover looks very different to what we see in NZ.

"This is the little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) in the Kasai Rinkai Park in Toyko Bay. A large park with wetlands, surrounded by city and full of birds (and bird hides). I met quite a few Japanese birders here. They were very helpful with IDs. The bird looks quite a lot like our black-fronted dotterel. Bird #48 in 2023."

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

Change of Date for Local Garage Sale - Now on 30th November 10am - 1pm

Peepo from Kelson

I apologise to everyone who may have taken time to go to the community centre in Kelson looking for our local garage sale.
I got the date wrong.

I hope that you can still join us on the 30th November 2024 from 10am to 1pm at Kelson Community Centre for a morning of bargains and a chat. (Chats are optional :-)

Again, I am really sorry for the mix up. Have a lovely weekend.
