kia ora tree-lovers... if you're feeling sketchy this month, why not get to know some native NZ plant species! 😃#drawcembernz

@estuaryviews Just saw about 15 at Manawatu estuary 😍

The first 270 godwits arrived safely in Christchurch yesterday. Welcome home.

There is still time for the coalition to regain trust, but a big step would be honouring National's promise to safeguard our environment, writes Dame Anne Salmond #Echobox=1720811488-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newsroom.co.nz/2024/07/13/ann…

@patrickmorgan - I see more interesting stuff/people/places - I visit & spend more at local shops - I take note of things in my city & suburb, both good and bad - I slow down, notice more All this equates to developing a less individualistic attitude, so yeah, that’s good for the commons! 😃

@RobSuisted I heard this a few weeks ago from another Houghton Bay local. Utterly shocking. Thanks for sharing this. Love to help

Hey all, you may know of Shaun Barnett? Top chap, top photographer & writer (books on Tramping, Huts & much more). He’s badly crook & needs help to finish one last important project. Please pass it on, and contribute if you can givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-sha…

@hihinews Cute! And they’re great photos! ...of a nuthatch?...

These little guys are one of my #Urbino favorites but really hard to get pictures of.. for me anyway!

@Qantas Kia ora. Question re checked baggage on Intl economy flight NZ to Oz... 30kgs max but can it be more than 1 piece?? The ‘baggage’ tab on ‘manage booking’ has no info. Thanks

@naturevision @nzpost @Forest_and_Bird 😍 I do hope there’s tea towels

Bit proud of this. NZ Post to release special stamps to celebrate 100 years of Forest & Bird. You can order some yourself (and there's some beautiful merch!) With thanks to @nzpost @Forest_and_Bird #100years #whatsyourlegacy stuff.co.nz/entertainment/…

@naturevision @Forest_and_Bird @GreenpeaceNZ @WWFNewZealand @EDS_Aotearoa Great korero - thank you for speaking up as leaders with knowledge about the ‘green things’. Can we get a similar call to action from leaders of the economy, health, local govmnt, farming, forestry, infrastructure, aquaculture, horticulture, tourism, transport... ?

We deserve more than a climate house of cards - please read and share. @Forest_and_Bird @GreenpeaceNZ @WWFNewZealand @EDS_Aotearoa newsroom.co.nz/sustainable-fu…

The cultural gulf between NZ & WA right here.... a 7-day rahui to show respect for an unidentified body vs 2 days of closure after this traumatic event

Very gratifying to see this fraudster exposed; The wildlife rescue centre taking donations from 2500km away stuff.co.nz/national/crime…

@comingupcharlie Was just thinking which journo might do a bit about this... 😁 Have any other portfolios changed so often? Or had such low profile MPs in charge?

@IBCycleWay And apparently (so some garage owners tell me) it is illegal to park in front of a garage, even if it’s your own. Would love to know if that’s true

@cpaintingnz @SimonConnolly95 @NZEntoSoc Kia ora Chrissie. Do giraffe weevils have a ‘season’? We’re seeing a few on Kāpiti just now. Seem to be smaller males

@mc_stanley1 So much good advice! 😍 Thanks for focusing on keeping birdbaths & feeders clean 👍 People think I’m such a nanna for bleating on about that but it’s all about ‘do no harm’ right?

@milesdavitt Nice view 😉

Whoever said December’s too busy for a drawing challenge was right! 😂 Have managed 4 out of 12 by the #drawcembernz deadline.. the mighty te kōuka.

My third #12treesofchristmas is ponga. The silver undersides of these fern fronds were laid on tracks to show the way... especially luminous in a full moon #drawcembernz

Here we go #drawcembernz !... The first of my #12treesofchristmas is Kawakawa. Known for its strong healing properties, Māori rongoā practitioners urge it should be used with caution and respect

No.8 Kāpiti island 😊

My best day this year was when Paul Eagle didn’t win as Wellington Mayor. My second best was reading the piece in last weekend’s @DomPost by @tomdom76 😊
