Hi everyone,
I’m just wondering if anyone has an android 6 or better phone they no longer use gathering dust somewhere. I would be happy to take it off your hands as I am stuck on android 4.3 and overdue for an upgrade.
Many thanks, Hayden.

The number of kererū is soaring to an average of 107 birds, compared to an average of 71 last year.
The monitoring is separate from The Great Kererū Count which is a nationwide citizen science project run by Urban Wildlife Trust & Kererū Discovery.
Despite kererū’s rising numbers, they are still under threat by mustelids and rodents – especially now that it is breeding season.

From picking up her keys and carrying her cane, to leading her to a chair when her vision blacks out and helping her up when she falls, the golden labrador is worth her weight in, well, gold.
Before she had Bindi to sleep heavily on her legs at night, she would get up and move around the house in response to hallucinations she’d suffered since she was a child.
During the Covid-19 lockdown earlier in the year, when Helen spent 12 weeks at home alone because immune-compromised, Bindi rescued Helen from a fall.

This week's picture features my favourtite bird, the beautiful karearea (NZ Falcon). Simon Wooolf took the picture at Wrights Hill, Karori, and wrote an interesting account of the observation.
It settled itself down on a wooden structure, preened itself, and then dosed off! Then the action started.
Three, or four Welcome Swallows decided to dive bomb the Falcon! Now in flight, and in dive mode, Falcon's are the worlds fastest birds. This bird was obviously stationary. Swallows and Swifts feature in the Top Ten Fastest Birds too. The Karearea is a threatened species in NZ. Predators are man, and while breeding cats, ferrets etc, and believe it or not hedgehogs! I have never seen other bird species attack a karearea!
Normally our falcons are fearless. I have had them land a metre away from me. If threatened, and especially in breeding season they are not just fearless, but are brave, and ruthless. Even we humans will depart the scene rapidly if attacked!
Incidentally once awake the karearea took the aerial attacks in its stride and was pretty non-plussed!
I'm pretty rapt with the series of shots I gained, as the swallows were attacking at over 150kph. There was contact made on a couple of occasions, however I wasn't quick enough to catch that part of the action, even with my camera set a1/4000 sec and with my trusty Sigma 150 - 600 lens.
If you get the opportunity to observe these wonderful Taonga of our New Bush, do so. I have never been disappointed!
Simon Woolf.
Well done the staff at the Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre. Five chicks that could only be called “ugly ducklings” represent a glimmer of hope for a species that has twice been declared extinct.

Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre, near Masterton, has successfully hand raised five kākāriki karaka (orange-fronted parakeets) after their parents were unable to raise them.
Successfully hand raising parakeets is considered extremely difficult because of the high risk of human imprinting, which results in the birds becoming reliant on humans for food.
Come on Wellington folk we can do better than this. Greater Wellington is appealing to residents not to throw away bread or food scarps after a large load of bread was dumped in Miramar.
Greater Wellington says dumping bread undermines all the work being done to make Wellington predator free.
