Friday Feathered Friend
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."
Friendly Couple Seeking Shared Accommodation with Local Flatmates
Kia Ora,
I’m a Chinese student set to attend Victoria University from February 2026 to July 2027, and I’m currently seeking shared accommodation for my husband and me around Pipitea campus.
My husband is an introverted IT engineer based in China, who will join me in Wellington starting March 2026. We’re both quiet, responsible, easygoing people with very regular daily routines, and we absolutely adore animals and children.
We’re keen to share a home with local flatmates – this way, we can learn from each other, immerse ourselves in New Zealand’s culture, and build genuine connections. I’d also love the chance to get to know you and your kids, and hopefully become good friends!
Thank you for considering us or sharing me with some kind messages.

warm wishes for everyday.
