"There have been some epic grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) battles in the back garden the past couple of weeks – well, as epic as it gets for something that weighs in at 6g. What I assume are three males have been wittering away and chasing each other around quite a small area when they disagree about who won the singing competition – little flashes of aerodynamic grey fluff battling for supremacy of the Acer palmatum conveniently sandwiched between a camellia, a kowhai, and a robust trellis covered in potato vine they seem to like climbing in. Having grey warblers in permanent residence here in Woburn, Lower Hutt is quite new (at least in my garden), with them only having turned up earlier this year. I hope they don’t exhaust themselves before they get to do any actual courting. This was taken last week, it is pouring with rain today so a temporary cease fire has been called. Fingers crossed they nest here."
Yes, our birthday celebration is still on until the end of the month.

For example how hackers can get into your Social Media accounts like Facebook is they have a list of passwords that you used in the past (typically from a shopping website that got hacked) and they do trial and error on all social media sights and even bank sites.
A good recommendation is to use randomly generated passwords a good tool for this is if you have your Gmail signed in and are using Google Chrome when you go to create an account sometimes an arrow that is performing a full circle will appear in the corner this is to generate a random password.
An alternative to the above method as it does not always appear when you create an account is to sign up for a Password manager such as Last Pass as they store all your passwords on a secured server and can work on Smart Phones too.
You can check us out on our website or feel free to email lsayers@flct.org.nz as we are more than happy to answer any questions you might have about passwords, security or technology in general.

"My ideal home would be one with a nice backyard, that is big enough for me to explore and potter around in the sun as I love toasting myself on a sunny day. I enjoy my daily walks so would love a family that would be keen to go out, explore with me and show me all the wonderful things out there. I have lots of love to give and like to be with my people. I LOVE food but this love and nose can sometimes get me into trouble. As I want to keep all the cuddles and tummy rubs for myself I am looking for a home as an only dog. Don't be fooled by my size, I can be cheeky and have jumped fences before, so am needing a home that has high fencing. I could live with older kids that are confident around big boisterous ladies like myself. I'm a real sweet heart waiting for a family to pick me. So if you think I'm the girl for you please contact us."
It is normally one Pet of the Day a week but this picture of Samba is just so good it could not be left out. Samba belongs to Anne and Sean Mulcahy from Carterton.
