Do you have kiwi in your backyard?
New Zealand's first kiwi corridor was opened in the weekend with the release of 10 kiwi in Tahere. The 14,000ha corridor links the successful kiwi populations in Whangārei Heads and Tutukaka Coast, giving these kiwi a total of 30,000ha of safe land to wander around in, and mix and mingle. Killing pests and controlling dogs are the main ways these areas are safe for the iconic birds. Do you have kiwi in your backyard?

Scam caller
Hi all I just received a phone call from 246347198 which had a recorded message stating that my Vodafone contract has been terminated.
I don't use Vodafone so obviously a scam. Just letting everyone know in case 😉
Keep safe
