Where have all the birds gone?
Recently on Papamoa social media sites it was noted that dead small birds, sparrows and wax eyes mainly were being found in numbers on private drive ways in the Dixon Road area. At that time we noticed how few birds there were in our area which is in the Papamoa area closer to Girven Road and there are less birds now. A few minutes ago we noticed a dead wax eye on a neighbours drive. Does anyone know if the appropriate govt department was notified or if there was any scientific answer given. Cats are not the blame for these deaths.

What does ANZAC day mean to you?
ANZAC Day is a time to reflect, remember, and honour those who served.
It’s also a powerful reminder of the impact of war and the courage of those who stood for something greater than themselves.
We're interested to hear what ANZAC Day means to you and your whānau, and about any special traditions you follow each year.
Perhaps you have a loved one who served? If you feel comfortable, we’d love for you to share their story here with us.
