"Another great day for Wellington regarding wildlife. We had two youngsters in town. A young humpback whale was seen in the inner harbour. On Lyall Bay, on our Southern Coast, we had a young leopard seal, which I managed to get a few shots of!
Leopard Seals are amazing to observe, and are highly intelligent. Google, Leopard Seals on YouTube, and you will see how clever these creatures are. Leopard Seals grow to be up 3.5 metres and can weigh up to 600kgs. This juvenile was just under 2 metres, and has some growing to do!
This youngster had been in a battle ( not unusual for young leopard seals!), with some open wounds on its lower neck and torso, however was in pretty good condition otherwise."

Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.

Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽

Greeting's Everybody,
I have posted everywhere on Facebook. Checking SPCA and other sites nearly everyday. Sent pamphlets around Miramar neighbourhood but no luck since April. My big black cat (Puss or Patronus) has been missing since the 26th of April.
He is an entire adult male
Desexed
Aged around 5-6
Black
Not microchipped
Had a collar which was light blue with a bell (but he tends to lose them)
He has had dental work with 5 teeth out. One obvious is his front canine tooth that is missing.
He was our precious boy, very independent, very cuddly. Doesn't really meow just chirps really cutely.
Please text me if you have recognised a new big black cat addition to your neighbourhood around Miramar or near. We hope to one day find him and bring him back home.

I’m looking for a space to rent/ swap for classes where I can keep and use my kiln. Between the 30-50pw mark its small and will be very carefully installed by an electrician who can certify when properly installed kilns are completely safe. Pref space would have a window it’s a single phase but draws 30 amps. I will of course pay for the power used by the kiln. :)
