Something a bit different this week. Louise Thomas features regularly on Neighbourly but it appears she is not the only bird lover in the family.
"This beautiful drawing was a present from my lovely daughter, Caitlin, for my birthday. It's a portrait of a chap who frequents a large tree at the back of our neighbour's section - it borders our section at the back so he is often peering into our yard - this is the view we normally have of him. I've always valued the handcrafted gifts my children give me - looking at them in chronological order is like viewing the ascent of man. This one's going straight to the trophy room. Kererū/wood pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae)."

September is Bee Aware Month.
Honey Bees are part of a group of pollinators without which we would have no fruit or vegetables.
Contrary to some media stories, the honey bee is not endangered in New Zealand but our native bees are.
These are solitary insects that usually live in burrows and produce no honey. They also are pollinators and suited our native plant species. Their habitat is threatened as they cannot be shifted around and managed like the honey bee.
