It is Conservation Week! Do you have any big plans for Conservation Week?
So many native fauna and flora make New Zealand special - show us a picture of your backyard native species in the comments below 💚 Perhaps we can inspire others to find the beauty in our local species.
Spring’s here, and with it comes warmer weather and lots of activity from our birds. It’s a great time to get outside—many birds are easier to spot as they build nests, raise their chicks, or return from their Arctic adventures 👀

Spring is sneaking back into Eastbourne — the tui are tuning up, the cyclists are lycra-layering, and the Council is still trying to find its crayons. From the shared path that skips Days Bay like a bad record, to the endless parade of mayoral promises, it’s clear our patch of paradise never runs short on comedy material.
This month MEGA dives into the gaps, the gaffes, and the glorious local grit that keeps the Bays buzzing. Strap in, September’s about to get interesting.
Unplugged Update: The entries keep rolling in — brilliant lyrics, bold ideas, and plenty of local talent. Yours could be next. $500 up for grabs, with $200 to a local charity of the winner’s choice. Get in now at www.mega.kiwi.nz...
