Flesh Eaters Hovering Over GBR
Amazingly enough a few days ago a falcon was hovering over Grant's Bush Reserve looking for prey and within 30 seconds of his/her departure, a hawk came swooping around.
I can recall a few years ago talk of Upper Hutt people never having spotted a falcon or a hawk in close proximity to the CBD. Grant's reserve is probably less than a minute away for a falcon to fly to the CBD.
Right now as this is written, a hawk is flying near the top of the trees in the forest of the reserve.
These majestic birds are terrorising the forest residents and one resident was screeching like crazy a few minutes ago.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
