"We have a good sized
population of royal spoonbills at the Waikanae estuary - recently swelled by new arrivals to around 26 birds. I was hidden in a reed bed adjacent to the Waimanu lagoon yesterday afternoon, and managed to capture these lovely images of a bird blissfully unaware of my presence."

Who knew ducks could be so interesting? Once again thanks Louise Thomas for the picture and words.
"Last summer we had a mallard couple that regularly visited us. They would waddle up the drive way, the female in the lead, and come around the back to the kitchen door to see if we had any rice or other tasty bits. I often wonder what happened to them, and how they negotiated the roads, and wondered how word got around in the first place that we might be the local soup kitchen. I was going to get a paddling pool for them, but they didn't turn up this summer. Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) male at Days Bay duck pond. Bird #68 in 2022.."

Used batteries are no longer allowed in your kerbside rubbish as they can leach harmful chemicals into soil and waterways, so it’s important to keep them out of the landfill.

Rotaform Plastics

Glass recycling day in Belmont and yet again I can stare incredulously at the cracks in my recycling crate.

A crate that proudly displays the message, “ROTOFORM Ready Made Ready Now when quite clearly it is cracked and not fit for purpose. Hutt City Council were clearly sold an inferior product and the company from Mangere that sold it to them needs to be held to account. I suggest everyone with a cracked glass recycling crate contacts the company concerned and complains directly. Don’t complain to Hutt City… I’m sure that they are as angry about this product failure as I and indeed you should be about it. Complain directly to ROTOFORM.co.nz
