Earlier this week, Mayor Campbell Barry laid a mauri stone, a taonga that has the wairua (spirit or soul) of the local people and preserves the welfare of those who stand above it.
"The site blessing and laying of the mauri stone is a significant milestone in the redevelopment of the Wainuiomata Mall. The redevelopment in this area has been on the cards for decades, and I know how much it means to local people to see things pick up speed."
The Wainuiomata Shopping Centre will feature a brand new Countdown, a new office building for the Ministry of Social Development, and a new road connection between The Strand and Queen Street.
Countdown is expected to be open next year. The new store will have an in-store Pharmacy, an expansive fresh produce department, an instore bakery and a dedicated health food section.

Not my normal wildlife subject, but if anyone needs a visual aid for the black rabbit that is running around behind the boat sheds at the Hikoikoi Reserve - here it is. Someone's missing pet? He was startled by a dog immediately after I took the shot. Hopefully he gets rescued soon.
A hungry kārearea played a part in a failed attempt to establish a colony of critically endangered shore birds on Mana Island.

In February the Department of Conservation translocated 29 juvenile tūturuatu, or shore plovers, to Mana, off Porirua, however in July it was reported all 29 birds had vanished. Some were discovered on the mainland, recaptured and placed back on the island with more captive-bred plovers.
Last month it was discovered some had ended up as lunch for a resident kārearea or New Zealand falcon. Others would have been susceptible to being gobbled up by cats, rats and stoats on the mainland.
An easy one this week. Where is it and what are your memories?

Are you interested in local birds and other wildlife photos? I go out every couple of days and take a few. I took up birding last year as a way to get out of the office and get some exercise, along the way I got bitten by the birding bug and discovered that birds are very interesting and there is a lot more in my neighbourhood than I thought (I'm up to 62 species). I'm happy to post them on here if people like. Let me know. Here's a tui in my garden in Woburn from last week.
