Who knew ducks could be so interesting? Once again thanks Louise Thomas for the picture and words.
"Last summer we had a mallard couple that regularly visited us. They would waddle up the drive way, the female in the lead, and come around the back to the kitchen door to see if we had any rice or other tasty bits. I often wonder what happened to them, and how they negotiated the roads, and wondered how word got around in the first place that we might be the local soup kitchen. I was going to get a paddling pool for them, but they didn't turn up this summer. Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) male at Days Bay duck pond. Bird #68 in 2022.."

NZ'S CUP IS NOW SPAIN'S CUP

Michael from Trentham

It was a hard slog and lots of emotion and NZ money to get America's Cup back to NZ.

It was a hard slog and lots of emotion and NZ money to get America's Cup back to NZ.
Now we had the chance to defend it back-to-back and cash in on it and watch with pride and awe our brilliant, hi- tech team (on and off the water) execute at home. But the cup racing has been swept thousands of kilometres away in some God forsaken, bull fighting and wine-making place called Barcelona.

Something is very wrong with the state of play. Whatever happened to "the America's Cup is now NZ's Cup". The highs and the lows of sport was never this low from a NZ standpoint. Funny thing though, I will still be watching the racing and hoping a boat with NZ connection turns up trumps.

Was it really the money NZ Govt etc had put together totalling 91 million dollars while the winning bidder added another 30 million? One gets the feeling the NZ Govt would have upped the anti but they never got the chance as someone named Dalton decided on no (more) bargaining. The difference was probably only the size of the pay packet destined for these wealthy yachties.
