Rescue coordinator Hayden James says the increasing cost of fuel is having a major impact. The charity had covered 1023 kms so far this month, rescuing 33 birds from as afield as Masterton and Levin.
Birds rescued included nine seagulls, five Kererū, one kākā, four tūī and two pied shags. The kākā had flown into a house and was unable to get out. It was caught and released unharmed.
For more information go to the Lower Hutt Kererū Rescue Facebook page.

At Citizens Advice Bureau we see so many Waikanae residents struggling with technology but also with transport to get to computer classes outside Waikanae, and so we are collaborating with Simon and Martine at KCDC Libraries and with the lovely volunteers at SeniorNet and the Cameo Pop-in Centre to run some computer classes in Waikanae - this coming Monday and the next to start with -
We are so excited! Please could you let people who are struggling with technology know about these drop-in sessions at the Cameo for the next couple of weeks?
If they are struggling with their computer or iPad or mobile phone Paraparaumu Library staff are coming to the Cameo Pop-in Centre on Monday 4th and Monday 11th April between 1030am and 1230pm to help so bring in your own devices or learn a bit about computers on the ones at the Cameo rooms - emails, facebook - just about anything you can think of.
These are drop-in sessions so come into Mahara Place, Waikanae (next door to the Professionals) and let us help you - ring Sue on 0275 999 823 if you want to know more.
Please pass the word around - we are aiming at residents who won't be using social media so we'll advertise on the radio and "what's on" as well, but word-of-mouth is the best of all -
Thank you so much 😊😊😊

This amazing new motorway provides a safer, stronger and more reliable route for people and freight in and out of Wellington. And because it’s engineered to the highest standards, it can cope with the weather, storms and earthquakes we get in this region.

A mighty rainbow decorated the sky , north of where I live earlier today.
To me it appeared to start at the first row of developing dwellings that form part of the Wallaceville Estate's Urban Precinct, 180 metres from my house and across from Grant's Bush Reserve.

"Hey, I'm Cruise and like my name suggests, I am a very chill dude who is happy to make friends with both humans and dogs. I am confident, curious and full of beans when I'm not by your side or enjoying some zzz's. I would make the ultimate exploring companion for the outdoorsy type and I am bound to keep you on your toes with activities all year round. Still being an eager young lad, I have been learning how to walk nicely on lead and how to stick close off lead for some excellent hiking adventures. I thrive with the company of other dogs and am wanting a canine brother or sister to go home to as I don't want to be left alone for the day. I'm not suitable for a home with young kids but I love to meet all sorts of people. Unfortunately I'm not able to go to a home with cats or small animals. I'd make a great family dog or a companion for a solo owner. I am a boy who loves to cuddle up against you and enjoys going on outdoor adventures with you and your existing dog."
