During a fortnightly survey of the colony in mid-November, the Wellington Harbour Penguin Study team discovered 66 dead chicks – 54 of them in one day.
Their death has been attributed to silt and the water temperature in the harbour, which resulted in a lack of fish.

Singing the trail: the story of mapping Aotearoa New Zealand
Date: Tuesday 9 February 2021, 5:30pm to 6:30pm
Cost: Free. Koha from non-members appreciated. (Friends of the Turnbull Library event)
John McCrystal of Wellington has been working as a freelance writer since 1996, contributing to most of New Zealand’s leading newspapers and magazines. Singing the Trail is the story of New Zealand through its maps – and the story of the explorers who made those maps.
John was to discuss oral maps made by early Polynesian and Maori settlers: waypoints, lists of places in songs, chants, karakia and stories that showed direction. Centuries later came the great navigators, Abel Tasman and then James Cook. And finally it was the turn of the surveyors, explorers, rockhounds, gold diggers and politicians to negotiate the internal detail.

A talk with pictures by Ian Wedde — imagine a national library in a time of plague. Will it incorporate a global vision? How will it moderate ‘relevance’? How will it incorporate the archival and non-moderated domains of social media? What kinds of censorship may emerge? Could global crisis stimulate an expanded concept of relevance both contemporary and historical?

We are back from holidays - sorry for that - in mean time have done new WOF and is now due January 2022
Stylish spacious 7-seats family car - perfectly comfortable for travelling in the holidays, drive the sports team, or transport stuff with all back seats flat alike a station wagon.
There are many Honda Odysseys around simply because they are great economical cars!
Includes 2 key-less keys , airbags, tinted windows, reverse beep & corner sensor, electric windows etc etc. Serviced annually, and tires under 3 years old - drives Average 9km/ltr in town / 14km/ltr long distance if car not completely full.
2 sets of dashboard buttons; English and Japanese. Center screen disconnected - we never cared.
Incredible really that not all station wagons have 7 seats - as fold down is with simply press of button! (pic on complete flat back is avail - but are only allowed 10 pics, and pic with only back seat folded is most common mode)
Check her out - as she priced to sell when compared to similar year/odo kms.
