With universities starting up last week, so brings first-time flatters trying their hand at cooking for the first time. In 2020, 27% of a household’s weekly budget was spent on takeaways so it’s no wonder that cooking is becoming a bit of a lost art.

Flatemate leaving in 3 weeks
A double bedroom in Miramar flat is available from 23rd March. The rent is $250, including power, rubbish and internet.
BYO bed, but we have a built-in wardrobe and a pad for parking your car. Your room will easily fit a chest of draws. We have a shared bathroom and kitchen. We have some furniture but the opportunity to put more things in the lounge. No pets, sorry, the landlord don't want them. Non-smoker, please. Nice small backyard with a washing line. Handy location - very close walk to Miramar shops, bus, schools and Roxy movie theatre. I am looking for an easy-going, mature, friendly and tidy flatmate. You'll live with an older geeky female flatmate. Message me a bit about yourself if you want to view the flat.

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.
