Free Leather Sofa Chairs

Russell from Paraparaumu

...well they look and feel like leather! Lots of minor scratches and creases but no holes, no smells (smokefree home) perfect for garage, office, rumpus or playroom - or the cat/dog/other quadraped.

They're pretty bulky so you'll need a Ute or van to collect.

Collect from Paraparaumu.

Hi Tea on a Sunny Sunday afternoon

Kapakapanui Lions recently hosted a Hi Tea garden party in a Waikanae garden. About 60 ladies and a few men partook in tea and coffee with lots of goodies to eat. We had a few raffles and some background music supplied by two lovely Paraparaumu College students. $1700 was raised for The Sweet Louise charity which supports women with terminal breast cancer.

A lovely day was had by all.

It has been a while since I posted a Friday Feathered Friend. This week it is a contribution from Louise Thomas.
"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.
