Lisa from Claudelands

Saw a post on neighbourly to please leave water out for birds in this extreme heat.....I thought oh god yes I always fed them and made sure the bread was wet for them.... ...so I put a little cat bowl of water out.... then heard they like cat biscuits... ...so bought cat biscuits and put water on them so they are soft.... well the birds haven't taken advantage but little Herbie the hedgehog is now our nightly visitor..... and eats the cat biscuits... my dad sees him everynight....I just went for a look and there he is...... in our leaves went up for his little feast... bless him... tried to get a photo but it was dark.... hope my neighbourly friends can do the same..... they're thirsty...hot. . . The ground is solid so they can't get worms they have no food.... please show some compassion and put them water out and if u can some food..... help out our little buddies..... imagine being them.... with no food or water available... a box of cat biscuits doesn't cost much and they don't eat much.... please please please help em

Some Choice News!

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!

Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.

This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.

Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
