Owha the leopard seal up to her old tricks
Kia ora neighbours, Owha's back! Auckland's resident leopard seal took a suspected bullet to the face a few weeks back, which had a lot of people worried.
Luckily it looks like she's pulled through, if a video of her frolicking in Westhaven Marina is anything to go by (click the link to view).
Thanks to Crispin Middleton from Seacology NZ for the video - he watched her playing for 20 minutes on Wednesday morning and said she looked happy and well.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
