"This bird is believe it, or not, I believe is Black Tern! "The Black Tern is one of four marsh tern species found worldwide and the rarest in New Zealand, with one accepted sighting north of Wellington in 2022. When breeding it is a small black tern with grey wings. It is pale in non-breeding plumage (as was the only local record).
Like the closely related white-winged black tern, the black tern can be found in a range of freshwater and estuarine habitats. The nominate form breeds in Eurasia, migrating to Africa to winter, while the North America subspecies migrates to Central and South America" We now have at least three birds in New Zealand, as I spotted three individual birds with the flock of White Fronted Terns. So rare in NZ. Very rapt, and a great find."
Last tin!
Whole jalapeño peppers stuffed with traditional Mexican cheese, called queso fresco, and covered in a spicy tomato puree.
Wrap in bacon and put on the BBQ!
Trusty Panasonic doesn't disappoint when it comes to personal video recorders. Whatever concerns you might have about their price or features, you know one thing: you're getting a solid, easy-to-use machine that will last you a long time.

The Panasonic DMR-XW380 is an interesting proposition. It's a Freeview HD recorder that has a 250GB hard drive and DVD writer.
NOTE: I have had trouble lately tuning it into my TV channels.
Whether this is because of the machine or my TV signal.
I will refund you if you have trouble with it if need be.

Some Wellington streets are more likely than others to collect wedged buses and trucks, with one resident saying in 2016 that a stuck bus was a six-monthly affair on one bend.

SOMEONE drove into the front of our house (built in late 80s) and we need to replace some HardiePlank cladding. Desperately seeking Hardieplank rusticated weatherboard with a smooth rebate above the wood grain. Need at least 7 boards 2.6m x 205mm wide. Photos attached.
