Bonus Friday Feathered Friend

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Okay, it is not Friday but this picture by Rosa Marie is too good not to use.

"Spotted this black backed gull with what looks like some fish (or is it orange peel?) in his mouth on a lamp post. I had seen him dived down in the middle of the main road and grab it and luckily had my camera on… View more

Get cosy with your whānau

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

Aimée from Ngaio

Lots of clean plastic pottles from medicines. The pharmacy won't take them back. Could be useful for crafty things, like beads, nails, seeds, whatever!! I hate to even throw them in the recycling. Pick up Ngaio

Another wonderful image from Simon Woolf. It was taken on the Kāpiti Coast.

"This bird is believe it, or not, I believe is Black Tern! "The Black Tern is one of four marsh tern species found worldwide and the rarest in New Zealand, with one accepted sighting north of Wellington in 2022. When breeding it is a small black tern with grey wings. It is pale in non-breeding plumage (as was the only local record).
Like the closely related white-winged black tern, the black tern can be found in a range of freshwater and estuarine habitats. The nominate form breeds in Eurasia, migrating to Africa to winter, while the North America subspecies migrates to Central and South America" We now have at least three birds in New Zealand, as I spotted three individual birds with the flock of White Fronted Terns. So rare in NZ. Very rapt, and a great find."
