Police are appealing for information from the public following an aggravated burglary in Birkenhead yesterday afternoon.

At around 1.35pm, it was reported three people entered a pawnbrokers on Mokoia Road, smashed display cabinets, and stole various items.

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!
