A stoat was first spotted in the 500-hectare pest-free sanctuary at the end of 2020. It later gave birth, meaning there may be up to 11 stoats wreaking havoc among the park's wildlife.
Two female stoats have been trapped this month, and last week the cameras spotted a stoat checking out a stoat “play gym” – a pile of debris placed on a log bridge and with traps inside – where one of its “presumed siblings” was trapped on July 2.
“We treat this positively as it is knowledge to inform next steps and a head start on where to target this next animal,” senior ranger at the sanctuary Matt Maitland said.
“There is genuine excitement that we are making progress, tempered with healthy realism of the task still ahead of us.”

Where are these tourists coming from, may I ask? I can't see Cov-19 going away anytime soon, can you, realistically? If Ms Ardern has any sense, those borders would remain closed for a very long time to come, if the Australian bubble is anything to go by....
How can anyone, in their right mind, spend our money in this disgraceful way, when there are 300, yes 300 homeless people sleeping rough right this minute? What's more important? Revenue or peoples' lives? Thanks.

When Erich Krogmann started the Food and Beverage Level 2 qualification, he had to learn how to balance study with a night job and a young family, but his main challenge came in the form of his hearing disability.
Erich says he thinks he’s inspired other people with a disability to take on training.
