It has been a while since I posted a Friday Feathered Friend. This week it is a contribution from Louise Thomas.
"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.

As it will the the last opening for this Summer we may open both days (depending on the weather) so please keep an eye out on this page. We have 633m2 of themed garden areas on a sloping east facing terraced property. If you are wanting ideas for what you can do with your garden you will hopefully find some inspiration here. I will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
We have steps and sloping paths but most people seem to manage them OK. There are plenty of seats so take your time and enjoy sitting in the different areas to absorb their special ambience. Different themes in the garden rooms encompass French, Asian, Subtropical, Mediterannean, topiary and meadow styles. We also grow a lot of herbs, vegetables, fruits and dahlias.
It is too expensive to advertise so please tell your friends in the Wellington region who may be interested. All welcome. Entry by donation please.
