"The great thing about going back to a favourite place is that you are always guaranteed to see something a bit different every time. I couldn't get enough of the redpolls that I happened to spot bathing at the water's edge near the playground. It was magical!
Unfortunately the ducklings had gone from at least about 30 to none at all yesterday so I think that the kāhu would have been working his way through them.
Plenty of yellowhammers and rosellas to be seen too! I loved seeing the Australian shovellers up at the Bridge by the Hobbit sign."

Top tips:
- If you’re not sure what can be recycled, use the tool on the Council’s website (link below).
- When it comes to plastics, it’s as easy as 1,2,5 – they’re the items that can be recycled in Pōneke.
- Remember to wash all recyclables, but don’t squash them. Squashed items are harder for our recycling facility to accurately sort and so can end up being sent to landfill.
- Don’t forget you must remove lids from everything: bottles, jars, containers. Lids can be dropped off to be recycled at the Tip Shop at the Southern Landfill, some community centres, or at the Sustainability Trust, 2 Forresters Lane.
You can also refer to the attached guide for information.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.
Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.
Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”
Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).
