Hey Neighbourly folk, this week something a bit different - a lizard.
Photographer Louise Thomas snapped the image on a recent expedition to photograph some new bird species.

"I've had an amazing 24-hours. Yesterday, my faithful porter and I went out to Matiu/Somes Island. We saw sooty shearwaters, kākāriki, aka red-crowned parakeet, numerous skinks, and on the way back a spotted shag near the Days Bay wharf.
All three birds are new species for me. I'm afraid I have no idea what sort of skink this is, I think common skink, but it has a dark iris? Suggestions from those in the know much appreciated - I'm going cross-eyed trying to work it out on the internet.
Funny story, both Chris and I thought this was a railway spike holding up the wood on the edge of the step, then Chris said "wait, that spike has little hands."

What do you know about Lower Hutt or THE HUTT as it was known.
1800-1850 The Hutt was accepting settlers into Port Nicholson and many landed on the flat land at Petone beach. Flooding caused them to move slowly up the valley. What did they think after sailing for months to arrive here and find NOTHING, no houses, no shops, nothing.
Maori grew potatoes, Settlers brought seeds, pre fab homes and lots of wet washing.
