Hello, Neighbours
Yesterday during my walk around Linwood Park I found three dead birds. Two - a starling and a goldfinch - were under one of the large pine trees by Linwood Avenue, and the third (not sure of the type) under a tree near the Randolph Street bridge on the other side of the park. … View moreHello, Neighbours
Yesterday during my walk around Linwood Park I found three dead birds. Two - a starling and a goldfinch - were under one of the large pine trees by Linwood Avenue, and the third (not sure of the type) under a tree near the Randolph Street bridge on the other side of the park. All were in varying states of decay. Do people know if this could be due to human poisoning, natural deaths, or perhaps those malicious magpies, that kill other birds? I presume the magpies are beginning to nest and are nastier than usual.

O’Sullivan says Quail Island in Lyttelton Harbour was used to quarantine people with leprosy more than a century ago, and is perfectly located to be an MIQ facility.
The architect, who has an office overlooking the harbour, has suggested a prefabricated pod design could provide suitable accommodation on the island. The pods would be environmentally and aesthetically responsive to the landscape.
The government has previously resisted suggestions that we should develop purpose-built MIQ facilities, including isolating people on military bases or other remote locations, in favour of using hotels.

People wanting a Covid-19 test in Christchurch face a wait for up to five hours at one of the city’s two testing centres as Kiwis around the country rush to check they are safe in the wake of the latest outbreak.
A queue of hundreds of cars stretched for about a kilometre out of the Pages Rd centre in east Christchurch at one point on Thursday morning, the queue snaking down nearby suburban streets.
There were similar scenes at the city’s other testing centre at Orchard Rd near the airport, where scores of cars queued for about hundreds of metres in a carefully managed line, as they did on Wednesday.
