"As a small city slicker, I don't see swamp harriers/kāhu (Circus approximans) that often (actually, I probably don't see them that often as we have falcons that live around here - the city raptor niche slot is full). We rumbled this one a couple of weekends ago feeding on some roadkill (as they do) on the gravel road to Boggy Pond in the Wairarapa. He was reluctant to go too far from his dinner, so I clicked a few shots as we walked past. Bird #58 in 2022."
Upper Hutt has a new night time display object.
It's funny but I mentioned what should happen last year ago on Neighbourly and finally, maybe someone took notice.

It's funny but I mentioned what should happen last year ago on Neighbourly and finally, maybe someone took notice.
Its all about the tallest object in Upper Hutt - no its not a building in the CBD or a tree in Trentham Memorial Park - it's an old but proud chimney.
It is sited within the area that houses Brewtown and so several weeks ago the tall, narrow, ugly by day, concrete smokestack took on a night-time glamour all of its own with large neon lighting proclaiming BREWTOWN running almost from the top to near the bottom.
And guess what - it can change colours too: multi and singularily. A colour or colours to suit the occasion.
Tonight it is purple.
Just maybe it could be symbol of a brighter future for Upper Hutt.
Nice to know tonight's 110 driver heading north managed to skip certain parts of their licence, like leaving enough room when passing and not overtaking on the right of a right turning vehicle.

I had to make a right turn at the roundabout of fergusson and totara/Montgomery cres because the daft driver couldn't be bothered sitting behind me as I was going straight through (I was on a moped doing 55(digital dash)), and overtook me again after the fergusson shops(mad butcher) after I signaled to turn right.
Metalink got a call as soon as I got home.
I wonder what sort of reply I'll get, if any ?

Attached is a photo of my sweet dog Maddie, an 8 year old Norwich Terrier. Maddie came into my life about 15 months ago to heal my heart after I lost my JRT called Pippa four months previously. She settled in immediately and is my joy in life. Loves her walks, her treats and cuddles on my lap. She’s just perfect in every way.
