WA Covid affected 1086, died 9. Population 2.7 million.

So a person whom the police were watching and trailing every move he made outside of his home or his place of residence for five years at our cost, was still able to cause terror and inflict terrible injury.

Tūī were out in full force, as they fed on the blossoms!
Kereru, as usual, were everywhere including in a wheelbarrow!
