Making up for Lost Time

Bruce from Wattle Downs

Time is precious and understandably we place even greater value on it. For many of us, the extended period of lockdown will feel like lost time that can’t be reclaimed.

However, in our village, we're free to get out and about, let's make the most of the time ahead, rather than focus … View more

Something is happening on Orakei Basin. I enjoy watching the shags build nests and raise their young on their old tree over the water.

Something is happening on Orakei Basin. I enjoy watching the shags build nests and raise their young on their old tree over the water.

Over the past year a couple of spoonbills were around in the water, then on an old tree low in the water (inferior roost!) then a couple made their way to what I think is the best roost, where the shags have been for years.

Recently I saw 7 spoonbills on the primo roost! And they are taking to a higher roost in the trees too. Looks like they are moving in?? Better plot than Netflix?

Enjoy nature at this time. Kind wishes, Eve

Hi neighbours,

An exciting way to stay active during the Covid-19 lockdown, explore Auckland and win prizes has arrived in the form of the Street Art Bike Challenge.

To participate people simple need to snap a photo of themselves, their bike, a piece of street art, and share the photo with the hashtag #streetartbikechallenge.

The event will run throughout October and aims to encourage people to cycle around the city and stay active throughout the Covid-19 lockdown.

It is being hosted by EcoMatters Bike Hubs, who have compiled a map of over 200 street art pieces around Auckland to get people started.

Over $1000 worth in prizes are up for grabs. Will you be participating in the Street Art Bike Challenge?
