"I used to avoid posting photos where I had accidentally captured a nictitating membrane - I thought they looked like weird sausage-skin sideways eyelids. Then I read that they are amazing built-in bird goggles, so the bird can blink and still see, or even shutter their eyes in extreme conditions to protect their eyes while flying or diving. Apparently we used to have them too - the pink blob in the inner corner of our eyes is a vestigial membrane. I suppose we evolved out of needing them - still they might have been handy the other day when I was trying to take photos on the beach during a gale. Pūkeko/purple swamphen (Porphyrio melanotus) at Waimanu Lagoon."

Hello neighbours,

Firstly, thank you for your continued support, especially over the last few years. We've been very fortunate to not be hugely impacted by Covid and have kept working and expanding. We now have four staff who have joined the team to help enhance more outdoor spaces in the Wellington region.

We've also launched a new service: 'property pre-sales', for those that are in the market to sell their property and want to showcase it in the right way for marketing photos and open homes to add as much value as possible. For more information on this and our other services, please visit my freshly revamped website: www.stevesjobs.co.nz...

If we can be of service at your property or your family or friends, feel free to reach out or pass on our details, so we can make more outdoors into spaces people love to spend time in.
