"The Chief Porter and I have been hunting the Nankeen Night Heron for some time. Randomly calling into Ūpokongaro to the spot “Behind the Door on 4” where others before us have clocked the birds, but, for us, with no success. On Monday we were crest fallen to find the café shut, but thought we would head a little way up Makirikiri Valley Road and drop down into the gulley and scout along the stream that runs into the Whanganui River at Ūpokongaro.
The recent rain had made the stream brown and swollen, water was lapping up onto the shelf with the slight track covered in wandering willy (tradescentia). It was wet, slippery, and muddy and our pants were wet up to the knees just walking through the undergrowth. We were buzzed by fantails and wax-eyes, but saw nothing of the night herons behind the area where the café is.
We pushed a little further upstream, straddling rotten logs which crumbled under our feet and slipping in the thick wet weed. I was about to call time of death on the operation, when the Chief Porter spotted a creamy patch against the dark tangled trees overhanging the stream. It was like magic, three night herons materialised from the gloom, their bodies glowing like warm rich butterscotch.
All three had slicked back black hair, but one roosting in the tree, hunched over like an old man, also had two long thin white feathers waving down his back like crazy antennae. One was actively hunting in the stream, pulling at aquatic plants in the hope they might be tasty, the other perched above and moved along the branches quoorking encouragement about the activities below. Nankeen night heron (Nycticorax caledonicus)."

During the July school holidays a few parents asked if they could they please join their youth so I set up a class especially for them. The class went so well and was so much fun I have set up more, one this Saturday and another Sat 14 Aug. The subject will be Mt Ruapehu on a calm day after a cold winter southerly has just passed through.
$25 for both youth and parents, includes all materials supplied, just turn up and you'll all leave 2 hours later buzzing with your completed painting and a beaming smile of creative satisfaction on your dial. (Note to parents - sorry wine is only served during the evening ‘Wine & Watercolour sessions :)
No previous art experience is required and no need to worry about drawing as the painting outlines will already be drawn out for your to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting in a relaxed and enjoyable, step-by-step procedure. These workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style.
Please inquire about other youth classes as well as our fun Wine & Watercolour evenings, ideal for group social events and parties with a difference.

This glorious production is inspired by Ernest Becker’s Pulitzer prize-winning Denial of Death, and the vibrant, life–filled chaos of India’s most cosmopolitan city, Mumbai. Jacob Rajan delivers a dazzling solo performance as he channels seven characters, weaving the afterlife and a dash of Bollywood disco into the real life mystery of India’s vanishing vultures. Infused with serious laughter, exquisite puppetry and inspired sound design this show will blow your mind and melt your heart.
