"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."
Hi I am looking to buy an old classic mens mountain bike eg: Cannondale, Scott, Bauer, giant, trek etc. Medium/Large frame. It can be 20 years or older but in good condition. If you can help, for my brother who had his bike stolen 2 days ago. That would be appreciated.

(Replacing the Kilbirnie/Lyall Bay depot.)
With reducing the speed on Cobham Drive, putting in a pedestrian crossing, allowing the development of Shelley Bay and now 120 buses + 80+ cars - Cobham Drive/Miramar Ave is going to grind to a halt. Once a new movie gets going that area is going to be diabolical.
They also want to have a diesel storage area. It's right by where they unload the aviation fuel from the ships = talk about a recipe for a big bang.
Anyway the proposal is here
