‼️ TOXIC ALGAE – HIGH RISK‼️
🔴 red alert - avoid swimming at Waikanae River Jim Cooke Park site
🟠 amber alert - caution advised at Otaki River SH1 site

Unlike the rest of the country, we’ve received very little rain over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, this means toxic algae levels have continued to increase in the Waikanae River at our Jim Cooke Park site which has now been upgraded to a red alert/high risk status. Swimmers and people with dogs are strongly advised to avoid the Waikanae River along the reaches of the Jim Cooke Park.

A caution remains in place at the Ōtaki River site near the Old Stage Highway 1 bridge.

Toxic algae can make people sick and can be fatal to dogs. These brown or black velvety mats grow on rocks in the riverbeds and come loose and wash up on riverbanks. Dogs love the musty smell and taste of toxic algae, so please keep them on leads away from the water and never let them scavenge at the river’s edge.

If you think your dog has swallowed toxic algae, take them to the nearest vet immediately.

If you’re feeling unwell after swimming at these sites, please see your doctor or ring Healthline 0800 611 116.

Check the LAWA website - www.lawa.org.nz... for the most up-to-date water quality results at your favourite swim spot.

Missing Bantam Chicks

This morning, we found two of our bantam chicks were missing from the coup. See photo attached, the wee ginger one and one of the white ones is missing. They are a bit bigger now at 12 weeks.
No sign of any predation and no sign of them anywhere on the property. Very strange. Difficult to see how an animal would have got them out of the coup and stoats, rats etc usually leave evidence. Plus Phyllis their mum is very staunch and would defend the chicks to the hilt. The only thing she would run away from is a human. If you hear of anyone turning up with a couple of bantam chicks could you let us know. These are Silkie cross chicks and are quite distinctive with the Boris Johnson moptop hairdo. Their mum is upset. If they have been taken for egg production then the thief is going to be disappointed. They are bantams, not chickens, they have a very short egg laying season and the eggs are small. They are pets rather than egg layers.
