The SPCA Pet of the Day is Xena, a 17 year-old thoroughbred, who has a had a tough life.

"She entered SPCA care after being seized from a property due to a cruelty complaint and was subsequently surrendered. After weeks of rehabilitation, she is ready for her new home. Xena is a very sweet mare, who loves attention and meeting new horses and people. She is good to graze with others but doesn't stress if her paddock mate heads out for a ride without her.
She is good for farrier, vet, covering (even in Wellington winds!), leading and feeding. She has been floated, but is still a little anxious loading so would benefit from some additional work in this area. We understand Xena was ridden for most of her life but hasn't been for the past three years. Xena would make an excellent addition to a family wanted an older, kind horse to keep their youngsters' company. Xena has grazed with sheep with no problems.
She is a good doer and put on weight easily once put on grazing. Xena has had a dental, been vaccinated (Strangles and Tetanus), drenched and vet checked."

Futon bed, wooden slat base that is usually a couch but extends to a Queen sized bed.

We've had it for a while and it's in pretty good condition, we've always kept it covered. It's also got the added bonus of being super comfy!!

We have a smoke free house and even though we have a dog he never lies on there and never stays in that room.

We no longer need it as we're re-jigging spaces.

Pick up from Brooklyn.

Extended: 1500mm wide x 2150mm long (it's meant to have a missing slat as that is where the frame folds)

Folded: 1500mm wide x 720mm high x 1050 deep (front to back)

Price: $300

Our Friday Feathered Friend for Christmas Day is this beautiful tīeke, photographed by Louise Thomas.

"Just back from a week-long birding trip to Whanganui, New Plymouth, and Mt Ruapehu. We took the opportunity to visit Bushy Park, the predator-fenced sanctuary in Whanganui. We had got out of the car and were reading the signs for the tracks and types of birds. In my normal over exuberant fashion I said to my husband and adult kids that I would die happy if I saw a saddleback. We were five metres into the first track when four of them flew up the path chasing each other and almost took my head off.
My daughter asked if I'd like to end myself now, or wait a bit in case I saw some other cool birds. I was a bit upset at first as I thought they might be the only saddlebacks I would see and I didn't get a photo. Turns out there are quite a few there. I will definitely be visiting again. Saddleback/tīeke (Philesturnus rufusater)."

On behalf of the Greater Brooklyn Residents association we warmly wish you all a safe, relaxing and happy Christmas and festive time. And that you stay safe as we want to engage with you in 2021. Especially in the water and especially around our southern coast.

And we are well looked after by our emergency services - in particular the Police Marine section active today rescuing a kayaker off the south coast...


"Maritime rescue at Red Rocks "

A person was rescued today today by the Police Maritime Unit on board the Lady Elizabeth IV after being swept out to sea in a kayak by wind and a strong current.

They had launched their kayak at Red Rocks and intended on fishing close to shore, however shortly after their kayak capsized a few hundred metres offshore.

They were swept further out to sea by strong local currents before they managed to get back on the kayak.

When they tried to paddle back to shore, the 25-knot offshore wind prevented them making any headway.

They then capsized again but managed to deploy the anchor to stop them being swept further out to sea.

They lost their handheld VHF during the capsize and crawled onto the upturned kayak.

Their cell phone was protected by a waterproof bag, but they were unable to call for help as there was no coverage in the area.

To top it off their life jacket had promptly deflated.

Luckily a keen-eyed person on top of the hills noticed them struggling in the water and called Police.

A mayday was broadcast and the Bluebridge ferry ‘Straitsman’ helped Police by stopping mid journey to assist with locating the person.

They were pulled from the water by Police at about 3pm.

Senior Constable Kyle Smith of the Wellington Maritime Unit says things could have easily ended differently.

“Although the man had enough equipment for his undertaking, a number of things went wrong leaving it up to chance that he was rescued today.

“Police would like to remind people not to underestimate the weather forecast, check your equipment is working and always let someone know what your plans are.”
