Fire breaks vs WRC efforts

Byron from Naenae

Who has noticed there are no firebreaks left around the hills of Naenae?
I know they look like a scar on the landscape - but they do serve a purpose ..luckily enough we have not had any fires lately - *recalling the years of fires dotted over the hills at Guy Fawkes etc ** - but IF we get any fires… View more
Who has noticed there are no firebreaks left around the hills of Naenae?
I know they look like a scar on the landscape - but they do serve a purpose ..luckily enough we have not had any fires lately - *recalling the years of fires dotted over the hills at Guy Fawkes etc ** - but IF we get any fires in the hills over what may be a very hot summer at times...
there is now not a lot that would help slow the beast - nor much easy access for the services to get there..jus sayin....
Cmon WRC lockdown long over and I am sure there are plenty of staff able to get the toys out and go clear our firebreaks again....

Royal spoonbills/kōtuku ngutupapa

Louise from Woburn

I wasn't going to take any more spoonbill photos for awhile - but this guy walked really close to me. You can see he's looking sideways to do a quick threat assessment, but doesn't stop feeding. Probably decided he could do me over if he had to. It is amazing how many little fish … View moreI wasn't going to take any more spoonbill photos for awhile - but this guy walked really close to me. You can see he's looking sideways to do a quick threat assessment, but doesn't stop feeding. Probably decided he could do me over if he had to. It is amazing how many little fish they catch like this. I saw him gobbling several little morsels down, probably slightly bigger than whitebait. They scythe their beaks back and forth like old-time hay gatherers, snapping them shut on tasty things, then quickly tip their heads back to swallow their prey whole. Royal spoonbill/kōtuku ngutupapa (Platalea regia). Between tides/closer to low tide is probably the best time to see them at the Hutt Estuary.

Virtually all NZ arrivals, except from Australia and Pacific Islands, will now need a negative Covid test before coming in, the Government has announced.
Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins on Tuesday gave Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield new powers, which means he can now easily require negative tests for arrivals from all countries.
It comes as Covid-19 surges around the world, in sharp contrast to New Zealand, where there is no current community transmission. Both the US and UK are experiencing unprecedented peaks in Covid-19 and nearly 2 million people have now died from the virus globally.

Good news!

Thanks to the brave and quick actions of these members of the public (pictured centre and centre right) – an offender who was trying to make a getaway after stealing money from a Henderson dairy was stopped and swiftly arrested. 👏

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.

He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.

Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.

He was then arrested and taken into custody.

A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.

The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.

A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.
