He recently spotted a sooty tern in the Waikanae Estuary, where he is a regular photographer.
“I had taken a walk along the sandspit to have a look at the white-fronted tern flock there - not expecting to see any interesting birds - and I was stunned to see this lovely brown bird amongst them again...With the sun right behind me, I crawled very slowly holding my camera in front of my face until, after about 20 metres of inching over hot sand, I got within a few metres of it. It wasn't aware of my presence, so I just lay there and took over 100 shots before backing away.”

Simon Woolf took took this lovely picture this morning and it is hard to disagree with his words.
"As much as Wellington has been disrupted over the past 16 days, the beauty of the city is undiminished. It never ceases to amaze."
He was not a Wellingtonian by birth but he was well known in the Capital. Who is this and what are your memories of him?

My trusty BERNINA Of 50 years has broken down for the first time ever!
I don’t hold out much hope in it being repaired.
I replaced the lightbulb and it blew and the machine stopped!!
I’m hoping one of my Neighbours has one that is surplus to requirements and is affordable.
Please Private Message me.
Many thanks

“Today is the two-year adoptaversay of Klio and Quintus (Charlotte and Quinn). How pawsome! We wanted to let you know that they are both doing very well. Klio went from being very shy to now insisting on always being on our laps. Always. Even to the point of trying to get up before we have fully sat down. Quintus was diagnosed with diabetes last January, but has responded very well to the insulin injections and continues to be quite chatty and fluffy. Wishing you all well, and thank you again to the whole team -- your mahi and aroha make such a difference in the lives of kitties and humans alike.”

This week we feature a picture and words from Louise Thomas.

A pied stilt/poaka (Himantopus leucocephalus) and a South Island pied oystercatcher/tōrea (Haematopus finschi) keeping each other company at Sandfly Bay in Dunedin as the Sun goes down. Showing you don't even need to be the same species to get along - they remind me of me and my husband - he's the skinny one dozing off while I'm talking. Birds #27 and #28 for 2022."
I was saddened to read of the death of Peter Neilson, a former MP for Miramar 1981-1990 (as the Rongotai electorate was known at the time).
Peter was a kind, caring and extremely clever man.
Gone too soon at just 67. Sincere condolences to his wife Megan and whānau. RIP, Peter.
