"I used to avoid posting photos where I had accidentally captured a nictitating membrane - I thought they looked like weird sausage-skin sideways eyelids. Then I read that they are amazing built-in bird goggles, so the bird can blink and still see, or even shutter their eyes in extreme conditions to protect their eyes while flying or diving. Apparently we used to have them too - the pink blob in the inner corner of our eyes is a vestigial membrane. I suppose we evolved out of needing them - still they might have been handy the other day when I was trying to take photos on the beach during a gale. Pūkeko/purple swamphen (Porphyrio melanotus) at Waimanu Lagoon."
I have a number of panes of glass to give away, some plain, some obscure. Could be good for a garden cold frame or glasshouse. Must be collected
I have approx 1 dozen 200gm coffee jars with lids. Good for kitchen storage; take some or all but must be collected.
I think the motor is dead but pump may be useful for spares. To be collected.
Not very reliable - keeps jamming up and has to be dismantled to clear, however has quite a powerful electric motor which I think still works. Must be collected
The motor is not functioning but may be repairable, though spare parts are a problem. Has several attachments - cord trimmer, blade trimmer, hedge trimmer, pole saw. Must be collected
I have an old Kelvinator Gentle Annie washing machine that is having problems - eg cold water not filling properly. Motor works, and m/c may be repairable. Free to a good home, but must be collected.
5 years old. Not suited to location. Their siblings have died so they’ve got to go.
