Some of us may be able to afford travel overseas and take the risk of a lockdown but the rest of us will be taking our holidays in NZ for some time to come. Our international tourist destinations are alive with local accents but accommodation can still be expensive for the average family of Mum, Dad, and the kids to enjoy an annual break. If this is your situation, Club Paihia is a private resort in the Bay of Islands that can offer members a week's stay for family of up to 6 at around about $1000!!! With 99.8% occupancy it has all the luxury & amenities that makes it one of the most popular destinations in NZ. If you are on a limited budget but still want the best NZ holiday ever, then contact Bill on 021904977 at FoCP to find how it can work for you!

Tīeke population 'severely impacted' by stoats at pest-free Shakespear Regional Park

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Kia ora neighbours. Rangers fear stoats at Shakespear Regional Park may have had a severe impact on the pest-free sanctuary’s tīeke population.

Kia ora neighbours. Rangers fear stoats at Shakespear Regional Park may have had a severe impact on the pest-free sanctuary’s tīeke population.

The park, on Auckland’s Whangaparāoa Peninsula, is a sanctuary that provides wildlife, such as little spotted kiwi, robins, whiteheads, and hihi (stitchbird), with a safe and pest-free habitat.

However, a stoat was detected in the sanctuary at the end of 2020. It later gave birth, and two of its kits – a male and a female – were caught in traps.

Then, in January, thermal camera imaging suggested there were still stoats in the sanctuary, including the mother.

On Thursday, the council’s senior ranger at the sanctuary, Matt Maitland, said three more stoats had been captured, including two males and a female. It's believed one more stoat remains at large.

The sanctuary’s tīeke (North Island saddleback) population has been “severely impacted” by the stoat outbreak, Maitland said.

“This is the most significant excursion to date.”
