Approaching later primary school years can be a time of mixed emotions for students and their parents. Independence is emerging in the form of homework and study time, interest in specific subject areas might be developing, and ideas about the world and how to make a positive impact are surfacing.

Redpolls (Carduelis flammea) are tiny finches which look like they’ve been blooded in some primal hunting ritual.

They are supposedly common, but yesterday evening was the first opportunity I’ve had to both study them closely and get some decent photos. I was watching a tui when a small flock of around a dozen arrived in the kowhai tree, jittering and singing like caffeinated pixies. I couldn’t believe my luck and hurt my neck peering upward, afraid they would take off before I had the opportunity to see them properly. The light was going, it was after 6.00pm and all but the very top of the tree was in shadow. I need not have worried, they were settling for the night and I left before they did. The female only has a red streak on the top of her head, whereas the male looks like he ate a rare steak without cutlery. Manor Park, Lower Hutt.

The sediment from the rivers stirred up from the recent rain has settled and the water is not so brown and angry-looking. Petone beach is littered with driftwood debris and colourful interesting natural flotsam pulled from the seafloor by the ripping tides. The variable oystercatchers/tōrea pango (Haematopus unicolor) are having a field day, dining on tuatua and whelks washed ashore by the large swells we’ve had. It feels pretty warm, I've taken my cardy off. I'm ready for work now. How could I possibly be grumpy today?
