Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

I’m finally back and getting ready to trap the remaining cats of the berhampore Colony.

We estimate around 40 cats and kittens that still need to be rescued.

What do we do these cats?
- Trap, desex, microchip, vaccinate and rehome the cats and kittens that can be.
- T’N’R, a few kittties are released and are cared for financially by us, and fed by one of our feeders.
- The cats who can’t be released or rehomed are put to sleep, as it’s the kindest option for them.

What we need from you?
- Pictures of cats to help us keep track of them
- Trappers (or people to check on traps)
- People who can transport cats
- Properties to trap on
- And of course fosterers

Please let me know if you have any questions,
Tia, Pōneke Ngeru Rescue

Another wonderful image from Simon Woolf. It was taken on the Kāpiti Coast.

"This bird is believe it, or not, I believe is Black Tern! "The Black Tern is one of four marsh tern species found worldwide and the rarest in New Zealand, with one accepted sighting north of Wellington in 2022. When breeding it is a small black tern with grey wings. It is pale in non-breeding plumage (as was the only local record).
Like the closely related white-winged black tern, the black tern can be found in a range of freshwater and estuarine habitats. The nominate form breeds in Eurasia, migrating to Africa to winter, while the North America subspecies migrates to Central and South America" We now have at least three birds in New Zealand, as I spotted three individual birds with the flock of White Fronted Terns. So rare in NZ. Very rapt, and a great find."
