I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

Sir David Attenborough has a soft spot for #kakapo. We named a kākāpō after him (Attenborough the bird is now ten years old, living on Te Kākahu) and he kindly narrated a short video for us about them, which you can see here: youtu.be/5eZVjQowNvw?.... #attenborough #conservation

“David Attenborough! All I ever hear is David Bloody Attenborough!”

Regret to report that poetry has broken out in small-town New Zealand in response to a consultation about local taxes. We’re particularly upset to read “water” being rhymed with “ought to” because the poet couldn’t bring themselves to write “oughta”.

Autumn has arrived.

Our team has finally managed to dig into #kakapo Rimu's cliff-top nest on Te Kākahu. We knew there was at least one chick inside, and that it had a high chance of falling to its death when it left. The cliff-side hole has been blocked and new entrance made. Pic: Daryl Eason #kakapo2026 #conservation

🇳🇱 MEP Reinier van Lanschot: Until every Ukrainian is free to trade a gun for a paintbrush, to swap bunkers for sports fields, participation of Russians in cultural or sporting events is an insult to the memory of the dead and a mark of shame for any institution that hosts them!

Good morning! The Climate Change Commission has just released the first National Climate Change Risk Assessment in six years – and I've read the key document. In short: Climate change is here, we're not ready, but there's lots we can do to prepare. For more: newsroom.co.nz/2026/05/07/l...

Remembering Eric Sykes, born on this day 1923 in Oldham. He said the north west was ‘where all the good comics come from’. Whence comes this strain? Sykes said: ‘My theory is that we are all idiots. The people who don’t think they’re idiots – they’re the ones that are dangerous.’

This late into a #kakapo breeding season, long after the mating has finished, a few males will still be at their bowls. They'll be sporadically booming, but most often you'll hear their 'skraaks' as they scrap for territory before returning to their winter ranges. #kakapo2026 #conservation

Incredible to celebrate the milestone of @capital.kiwi, mana whenua, iwi, landowners, schools and community with their 250th kiwi released into the Makara wilds in Pōneke. An absolute credit to the grass roots mahi. When we invest in nature, extraordinary things can and do happen 🥹👏

It is, today, the 55th anniversary of that gift to satire James Arkell, whose solicitors wrote to Private Eye on this day in 1971, prompting everyone’s favourite reply. You may know the story, but I put it to you that you cannot hear it enough. We begin with that initial letter... 🧵

"So Victor goes into the bathroom as Mrs. Meldrew’s coming out, and he sees there’s another man in there, what was he doing in there, well of course we know that he’s there for legitimate reasons, but Victor says ‘What the hell do think you’re doing’… very funny."
