More Food for thought

Diane from Murrays Bay

This is an interesting article written by an outdoorsman who has some very valid points. We have 1080 drops happening in Auckland.
"Consider that the kiore rat was introduced about the 13th and 14th centuries by Māori migrants. The ship rat came with European whalers, sealers and explorers almost 250 years ago.
If rats were going to annihilate birds they would have conceivably done that within perhaps 50 years of introduction. The decline in bird numbers did not happen even after two centuries of the ship rat's existence or six centuries of the kiore rat but in the last 20 or 30 years when mega-poison drops began"
"Change is inevitable. It's simply known as evolution. New Zealand now sits in a 21st century ecosystem. It's time we recognised that and learned to live with it with care and foresight and not illogical, and unrealistic ideology" www.stuff.co.nz...

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
