Viewings of the new ‘Giant Kiwi’
Giant kiwi spotted at Nga Manu Nature Reserve!!
Early reports say the kiwi is believed to be a large as a human.
Sightings have been sporadic and most have been in front of the visitor centre around 11am and 2.30pm daily. Unlike normal kiwis the sightings have been in full day light.
The kiwi appears friendly and huggable, and also doesn't seem to mind a selfie or photo.
See it at Nga Manu Nature Reserve this weekend.

• Sunday 16 July, 11am and 2.30pm (20 minute meet and greet)

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!
