Kaka visiting Vipond Road Stanmore Bay today

Hi Neighbours,

Thought I’d share a neat moment walking along Vipond Road this afternoon that I saw a large Kaka being very friendly in a yellow bottle brush tree until the Tuis scared it off, saw this bird not once but twice today. What a stunning looking bird and didn’t seem too scared as I was able to view it up close.
Not sure if this is regular in Stanmore Bay as we have just moved here to Vipond Road but awesome moment to view this large bird up close all the same

Cheers
Emma

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
