"This afternoon it was off to Pāuatahanui for a kingfisher hunt with a husband who is very good at taking my hints about it being a beautiful day whilst staring at the birds that were flying around outside!
The kingfishers were certainly in the usual place, but not really being social with each other as they were on our previous trip.
I waded out in my wellies but couldn't really get as close to them as I would have wanted to! Here are a few shots of them on various bits of driftwood, some with crabs in their mouths, some without! It was lovely to also capture the spoonbills coming into land to have a feed."

So many Ryman residents have passions and pastimes that they continue to thrive at within our villages. Therefore, creating an event like Olympics@RYMAN is a prime example of how we pioneer the way for our residents.
Events include swimming, bowls, cycling, relay walking and Quiznastics. To up the ante, we’ve incorporated technology solutions to enhance events and to enable residents to connect with all 41 Ryman villages, including those across the Tasman, while they compete!

After years of searching for a new recruit for their business, Auckland engineering firm Stainless Machinings turned to Competenz’s free job matching service to find them an ideal candidate.
In the space of a few short months, school leaver Stuart Martin joined the company.

WE ARE WELL ON OUR WAY TO MAKING THE RELOCATION POSSIBLE
Another great week of donations from the community - $1,920 along with a generous pledge of $10,000 from the Connect Church who are long time supporters of the Kapiti Community Foodbank.
In addition the Foodbank has transferred a further $38,620.28 from reserves deposits that have become due - making our grand total $85,595.00.
We have identified and committed to a relocatable classroom which with alterations and refurbishment will be most suitable.
The attached picture shows the building in its very raw state.
