"Just starting to sort my images for the 2024 Calendar and have decided this cheeky fellow makes the cut. I'm thinking he might become a painting too at some point. Kaka/ Brown Parrot (Nestor meridionalis) on Stewart Island - their heads are noticeably more white than the ones we get around Wellington."

"Talk about special! Our garden had a lovely fleeting visit this morning.
I heard the tune, and knew instantly it wasn't a Tui!
A Korimako, our native Bellbird are often heard but rarely seen. To have one flitting around our place was so wonderful to see, and hear. The blue around the Korimako's bill and face is pollen from our native fuschia. Over the past few days the luck I've had in our garden has been amazing. Karori is one great place to see a range of native, and sometimes rare and beautiful wildlife."

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The leader of the National Party has announced a plan to ban cellphones from all classrooms to minimize distractions for students. The Labour party has commented that this is commonplace already and is a decision best left for individual schools. Do you think a ban should be enforced?

2024 Wild Birds of New Zealand Calendar

Louise from Woburn

I'm taking pre-orders for the 2024 Wild Birds of New Zealand calendar now - featuring my favourite photos from the past year.

I'm taking pre-orders for the 2024 Wild Birds of New Zealand calendar now - featuring my favourite photos from the past year.

Like last year these are a large A3-size calendar, with cover printed on 300gsm gloss art board and the pages printed on 150gsm gloss art paper.

Email louise@louisethomas.co.nz for more details or if you would like see a PDF of the complete calendar before your order, or just order below or message me.

These are printed locally in Petone at Valley Print. The calendars are $29 each inclusive of GST, plus courier at cost. Courier (NZ Post) is around $8-$12, plus approximately $3 extra for RD, but you can get up to ten calendars for the one shipping cost.

The calendars are shipped in home compostable bio plastic courier bags from a New Zealand Company called R3, inside an A3 archival envelope - this is included in the shipping.

If you are in the Hutt, you are welcome to pick up from Woburn and save the courier cost. GST tax invoices (if required) available when calendars arrive back from the printers. Payment on invoice by deposit into my account when the calendars arrive back and are ready to ship, or cash on pick-up. Calendars should be ready to ship in September.

There is absolutely no problem if you pre-order and then change your mind before I ship them, as the extras always sell out.

Thanks for supporting my venture.
