Friday Feathered Friend
Rosa Marie checked out the Pāuatahanui Inlet recently. Don't you just love the spoonbill picture?
"It seemed like a kotare kind of afternoon at the Pāuatahanui Inlet today! Trying to get nice and close to my Kingfisher friends as they were hunting for crabs as the evening was drawing in. At one stage, there were as many as 3 sitting on a piece of driftwood!
A lone spoonbill was spotted having a feed in the distance before it took off"
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
