hi Neighbours, I'm wondering if anyone has spare cat food, hiding in the pantry - dry or wet cans/pouches as I'm feeding a small colony in East Tamaki where I work 3 days a week. Yes I live in Lake Rd, Hauraki.
They are living in a locked yard, where I have to gain access when the business people are there, under a large shipping container. I am going to get hold of SPCA or a rescue organisation to trap them as soon as I can bring myself to do it. If you could contact me that would be extremely helpful. I can collect it or you're welcome to come to mine to drop it off. Thank you in advance :-)

Kawakawa trees - male or female?

Jenny from

Last week, visiting an area we had freed from honeysuckle and other weeds in 2019, we were delighted to see the first flowering of a male kawakawa. (Photo below left)

We were surprised to see it mature so soon after we had planted it in 2020 as a 10 cm high seedling.
