"This is not the best photo of a variable oystercatcher - it's not even the best photo I took that day, but it is interesting. I noticed he/she was tagged - meet CT7. I snapped him/her in the Hutt Estuary on 12 January and sent a report off to the Banding Office as you do and got back a very interesting report about the bird.
He/she was banded on Bell Island, Waimea Inlet, Tasman on 28/05/2022 in his/her 2nd year. Sex is unknown. CT7 is a busy chap, since banding this bird has been re-sighted at Saxton Field, Stoke, Nelson on 28/06/2022 and 19/07/2022. This bird is part of a research study on the morphometrics, population trends, longevity and movements of variable oystercatchers in the Golden/Tasman Bays region.
So, if you see CT7 don't forget to report him/her to the banding office.
Variable oystercatcher/ tōrea (Haematopus unicolor). Bird #14 in 2023.

The festival was postponed this month due to the response and on-going recovery after Cyclone Gabrielle as well as the ongoing unpredictability of the weather.
Board Chairman and former Defence Minister Ron Mark shared that “after the decision to postpone it has been a priority for the team to work with our key stakeholders to secure a new date. With today’s announcement we can get planning underway again to deliver a world-class Air Festival based right here in the Wairarapa. Our board and management team are both humbled and grateful for the incredible support that we have received from our partners, stakeholders, ticketholders, and the wider community.”
The festival takes place every two years, drawing crowds with a large aircraft display. It was scheduled to take place from February 24 to February 26.
Wings General Manager Carla Steed, confirmed “ticket holders will automatically have their tickets transferred to the new date, whilst those who are unable to make the new date will have a 14 day window to request a full refund. We really appreciate the support we have received, and hope that the community continues to get behind the festival.”
As well as the spectacular air display programme, Wings Over Wairarapa Air Festival also features the Take Flight programme – an interactive STEM education programme that provides engaging activities and demonstrations to school aged children on the Friday and is also available for all visitors on Saturday and Sunday. The aim of the programme is to inspire and engage tamariki and rangatahi to consider STEM pathways, with a large focus on aviation and aerospace.
