We again feature a pic from Louise Thomas. This week it is a grey warbler/riroriro.
"Nice to see a grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) in the weekend. I'm not hearing them as much now the cicadas have cranked themselves up to full volume. It's probably the end of the breeding … View moreWe again feature a pic from Louise Thomas. This week it is a grey warbler/riroriro.
"Nice to see a grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) in the weekend. I'm not hearing them as much now the cicadas have cranked themselves up to full volume. It's probably the end of the breeding season as well. I was interested to read that only the males do the summer warbling, apparently the females only have a short chirp call. Don't ask me why this turkey is hanging upside down - there's always one."
Hey Neighbourly folk, remember there is a fire ban on.
It includes Kapiti Coast, Porirua, Wellington City and the Hutt Valley. Principal Rural Fire Officer Craig Cottrill says this means anyone wanting to light an outdoor fire will need to apply for a permit and follow the conditions listed on … View moreHey Neighbourly folk, remember there is a fire ban on.

"The ground is getting drier and fire danger has increased,” he says.
“The dry vegetation acts as fuel for a wildfire, meaning if a wildfire did start it could spread very quickly. We’ve seen this with a few vegetation fires in the area recently, including one in Makara last month where firefighters and helicopters worked hard over two days to put it out.”

This is unfortunate and short-sighted on NZTA. I wouldn't be surprised if further delays are possible.
These elegant and versatile items are great ornaments and also good for displaying flowers, fruit or salads in the bowl.
Surplus to requirements so regretfully put them up for sale and new home. $30 for the lot
As the title says, I'm after a narrow external door. Left or right hinged doesn't matter, but 600 is all that will fit. Standard height of around 1950mm is fine.
Timber or aluminium is fine too and happy to collect from anywhere in Kapiti.
Hi all, I’m looking to give a VERY lonely goldfish to a new home ( or tank as the case may be). “Inky” is extremely lonely since his buddy passed a couple of years ago, and needs a friend. He’s not a small fella, so needs a decent size tank, but he’s a lovely guy and will be happy when he… View moreHi all, I’m looking to give a VERY lonely goldfish to a new home ( or tank as the case may be). “Inky” is extremely lonely since his buddy passed a couple of years ago, and needs a friend. He’s not a small fella, so needs a decent size tank, but he’s a lovely guy and will be happy when he has some friends (even one friend). Obviously free to a good home, so if you or someone you know is thinking about getting a fish or a few fish, give me a yell! Thanks 🤗
