Friday Feathered Friend

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

This week we feature a picture and words from Louise Thomas.

"Here's a twofer for my 2022 list. A pied stilt/poaka (Himantopus leucocephalus) and a South Island pied oystercatcher/tōrea (Haematopus finschi) keeping each other company at Sandfly Bay in Dunedin as the Sun goes down. … View more

"Here's a twofer for my 2022 list. A pied stilt/poaka (Himantopus leucocephalus) and a South Island pied oystercatcher/tōrea (Haematopus finschi) keeping each other company at Sandfly Bay in Dunedin as the Sun goes down. Showing you don't even need to be the same species to get along - they remind me of me and my husband - he's the skinny one dozing off while I'm talking. Birds #27 and #28 for 2022."

Simon from Ngaio

I'm an old man now, and very happy in Wellington.

I'm an old man now, and very happy in Wellington.
I was a firebrand in my youth, and protesting for CND, Anti-Apartheid, Reclaim the Night, and I understand the critical need for the people today to be able to protest in freedom.

I just think it's gone on too long, their point has been made.

We will all be paying through the nose in our council rates for the next couple of years to cover all the damage they have done, plus all our local CBD businesses have lost out big time.

I feel very happy putting on my gardening gloves and going to clip town all those tents. :)

I'm sure that there are many more of us than all the protesters, and so I'm happy to go gardening, if it keeps my rates down.
