Spoonbills moving on best roost Orakei Basin?
Something is happening on Orakei Basin. I enjoy watching the shags build nests and raise their young on their old tree over the water.
Over the past year a couple of spoonbills were around in the water, then on an old tree low in the water (inferior roost!) then a couple made their way to what I think is the best roost, where the shags have been for years.
Recently I saw 7 spoonbills on the primo roost! And they are taking to a higher roost in the trees too. Looks like they are moving in?? Better plot than Netflix?
Enjoy nature at this time. Kind wishes, Eve
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
