The Hutt Estuary at the river mouth has an often surprising variety of birds. Some of my favourites include the royal spoonbill, aka kōtuku ngutupapa - so efficient with their own built-in cutlery.

Some of my favourites include the royal spoonbill, aka kōtuku ngutupapa - so efficient with their own built-in cutlery. There are between six and twelve that seem to live around here, they often move up the river to hang out on the gravel islands by the Ava Railbridge as well.

A few people have asked how you can tell the difference between a dunnock and a female sparrow, so I've taken a couple of close-ups of a female sparrow so you can compare the two side-by-side (the last one is a dunnock).

See how the female sparrow is much stockier in the body, the beak is triangular and pale, and the plumage is more patterned including a white bar of the underside of the wings. The dunnock is much finer featured, slim, steel grey front with brown back, brick red/brownish eyes with slim dark beak.
Some very kind person found my sons phone on Emmerson St Petone and kindly handed it in to the Police station, Thank you again.I'd like to buy you a pint for your trouble.

The rugby gods weren’t ready for Colin Mataira.
Three times he turned up at their gates on the afternoon of July 11, and three times they sent him back. The 45-year-old father of five, and grandfather of three, to all intents and purposes died three times when his heart stopped on the 10-metre line of a Napier rugby field that day.
Lower Hutt property agents are reporting a record low number of houses for sale.
On Sunday there were only 154 houses listed for sale in Lower Hutt.
Last year, there were roughly that number at the same time. The lack of stock is pushing prices up at a time when the market is already very tight.

In the lead up to the 2020 election, Stuff is keeping voters up to date with what’s happening in their electorate, through Neighbourly. Here’s what you need to know about the candidates in the running to be Te Tai Tonga's MP.

Through the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, those enrolled can vote for the party they want as well as a local representative.
Why does my MP matter?
The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you’re having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn’t enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.

The Greens’ transport policy backs the introduction of light rail between Wellington City, and the eastern and southern suburbs which they say would reduce congestion and emissions. It also includes extending it to Lower Hutt, making it possible to catch a light rail all the way from central Hutt to the airport.
Light rail could utilise the existing train network’s track gauge but Labour has already said it will not happen under its watch.
