"The great thing about going back to a favourite place is that you are always guaranteed to see something a bit different every time. I couldn't get enough of the redpolls that I happened to spot bathing at the water's edge near the playground. It was magical!
Unfortunately the ducklings had gone from at least about 30 to none at all yesterday so I think that the kāhu would have been working his way through them.
Plenty of yellowhammers and rosellas to be seen too! I loved seeing the Australian shovellers up at the Bridge by the Hobbit sign."

“George and his team recently completed an interior painting job for me. The work involved wall paper stripping, preparation and painting of ceilings, walls, doors, window reveals and skirting boards of a 3 bedroom townhouse. They were very good to deal with and George answered all my queries promptly. The work was carried out in a tidy and efficient manner and care was taken to protect the new carpet. I am very pleased with the results and I am happy to recommend Home Painter Ltd to others.”
