"A couple of days ago I just spent some time watching a blackbird hovering around our grapevine and helping herself to the juicy grapes. I was fascinated at how adept she was at skinning them too! I got a that shot showed a skinless grape, which I thought she would swallow, but she dropped it like a hot potato and ate the skin instead."

"Anyone who knows anything about shags, especially the big ones, knows that I risk much to bring you this unique angle. Nearly had to ride home in my underwear with all the windows down - it's happened before. Pied shag/ kāruhiruhi (Phalacrocorax varius) at the Waimanu Lagoons at Waikanae. Bird #34 in 2023."

We have been hearing of odour complaints from residents regarding the Moa Point Wastewater Plant and just received this email from Wellington Water - we will follow up on this to make sure we are kept updated on progress:

There’s an odour issue at the Moa Point Wastewater Treatment Plant and we’re working as fast as we can to resolve it.
We use a scrubbing system to mitigate the odour from the plant and we think it’s blocked up. We have ordered an acid-based wash to unblock the system and eliminate the problem. It uses a specialist product and the maintenance activity may take a few weeks to complete but we anticipate completing the work by the end of May at the latest.
Rest assured that we will keep you informed of our progress.

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.
