Kererū taking off in regional park
Greater Wellington has monitored kererū in the Kaitoke Regional Park for the last 17 years and the results are looking good. The number of kererū is soaring to an average of 107 birds, compared to an average of 71 last year.
The monitoring is separate from The Great Kererū Count which is a nationwide citizen science project run by Urban Wildlife Trust & Kererū Discovery.
Despite kererū’s rising numbers, they are still under threat by mustelids and rodents – especially now that it is breeding season.

Stamps wanted
I run a Stamp club at Tawa School to encourage children to collect stamps and learn about countries, history and more. Unfortunately new stamps aren't often seen these days as it's all electronic! If you have any stamps or old collections sitting around, let me know and I'll come and get them.
