Bony-toothed birds (Pelagornithids), an ancient family of huge seafaring birds, were thought to have evolved in the Northern Hemisphere, until the discovery of the family's oldest but smallest member in New Zealand.
Amateur palaeontologist Leigh Love discovered the partial Protodontopteryx skeleton at the Waipara Greensand fossil site - the same area where he found evidence of a 1.6 metre-high giant penguin in 2018.
It's that time again! Daylight saving is this weekend. So don't forget - clocks spring forward one hour this Sunday morning. #theregoesthesleepin

Findings showed 42 per cent rated their own driving ability as above average. The same group considered 73 per cent of other drivers to be only average drivers.

She would suit a farm/lifestyle property with other dogs. I have tried toilet training her but have not been successful. Maia is very very sweet natured and loves cuddles. She is not yet speyed but I will organise this. She will only go (free) to a loving home where she will receive lots of attention and love. Maia is a black (with white toes) lab x heading dog (about the same size as a spaniel). Please call me on 057 3187506 if you can offer Maia her loving forever home.
I have free pine cones. You will need to bring your own bags and pick up from the paddock.
