I'm so old I actually said to a friend's younger (18?) flatmate, "those phones for texting - how will they even last? Who can she even text? Noone else has one... everyone would need one,and that's not likely to happen..."

#avianflu #birdflu Oh, please let these cranky chicks be free of this challenge. 🙏 Isn't it magnificent 😍, clacking away. Brave, brave people 👏

Would you be brave enough?? Beautiful baby albatross, enormous really 😍 Wish them well - especially with the #birdflu having reached NZ 😢 I've had an acquaintance show complete.disregard for the threat to our birds... comparing to covid... idiotic and so misguided. #rabbithole #block #NZPol

For those kākāpō fans not in Aotearoa, NZ has just confirmed its first case of highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu. Makes the vaccination programme for a quarter of the kākāpō population even more important. Listen to vet Lydia in ep 19 of Kākāpō Files

Kiwis of all ages are sad to learn of Sam's passing 😢. I've seen people mention their 7yo, 12yo, my 19yo, those in every decade... his life's work touched our hearts, as did the spirit he oozed - kindness, sincerity and immeasurable selflessness. #RIPLegend #SamNeill

Let's do this #NZ Come on, do it for everyone, do it for Sam #RIPLegend

#pollinators #flowers #bloomscrolling A gorgeous display on the side of the road, around the base of a lamppost. A seemingly happy buzzy bee visiting the flowers on a lovely sunny day.

What a gorgeous day and a gorgeous view 😍 #BeautifulSkies #Clouds #trees #nature #photography

"Perhaps we should just bite the bullet and make all Aotearoa New Zealand predator-free?" A great article, informative and entertaining. Plus this great idea 💡. #PredatorFreeNZ #NZPol Mention was made also of the dippiness of the current CoC... vote them out and kākāpō and others in 🙏

A glorious morning walking over and beside the river. #clouds #river #nature

Get your submissions in by 2 July. I'm glad to be able to attend a public meeting tonight in Palmy about this. Every seat filled with people standing listening from the door. Council/ political/ concerned members of the public, lots of club members. Speak up people. Democracy needs us. #NZPol

Nearing dusk this evening. Sometimes I see clouds falling as if they were blankets on the ranges. Not tonight though! These were hovering. As the sun set in the opposite direction, it illuminated the clouds. Stunning 🙌 #BeautifulSkies #Clouds #River

Europe is Burning. But we can cool it down. Our cities are currently built to trap heat. But we can change it. Here are 7 actionable things cities can do today to cool down:

Yucca plants have established themselves next to the river and walkway. I don't think it's a great idea to leave them to spread here. I wonder if they were someone's garden waste or came down in flooding? #Invasive #Protection Maybe an opportunity for someone to remove, pot and sell?

I still miss this tree 😔

Depressing... #NZPol #Responsibility #Agency #Collective

My 84yo dad was telling me about my 46yo brother owing tax to IRD this year because #WINZ or whatever they're called now cut his disability allowance in error, paid a lump sum after dad successfully fought it and didn't tax the payment correctly. They should have to pay for their mistakes. #NZPol

This - I totally agree. Despicable man Shane Jones. He must not continue to be in a position of power after this election. #Vote #NZPol

Does anyone else think it looks like this bird is wearing dark glasses? 😎

#FungiFriday #Moss #Lichen #NZBushwalking These wee mushrooms (please correct me if I'm wrong) were small and I'm glad I stopped walking for a closer look.

The annual NZ Garden Bird Survey is fast approaching! Are you ready to identify and count the birds in your local patch? All you need is 1 hr between 27 June - 5 July. Check out the resources at gardenbirdsurvey.nz to brush up on your bird ID skills! #NZGBS #ornithology 🪶

#Bridge #Tramping #Nature I enjoyed this sign and crossing the bridges on a tramp today with the local club.

Random mutant octocat. The chances of being murdered by your cat are very low, but never zero.

🪶🇳🇿 Yesterday I heard a bird that sounded vaguely like a kookaburra, except I'm in Palmy and I don't believe they live here. Nearby was a magpie and as the call was repeated, several tūī landed in a nearby tree. I got a little closer and think it might be a kārearea? More info in #alttext #NZBirds

#SpotTheDifference #nature #rivers #photography One of my spots that I stop and look,taking a photo (or 5!). It never ceases to amaze me how very different each view can be.

2/2 Anne Salmond continued: “Second, those leaders need to put this philosophy into action, strengthening & upholding democratic principles & practices as a matter of urgency.” Anne calls for proper restraints on lobbying & political donations. Badly needed. #nzpol

Helen Clark, on X-Twitter: Anne Salmond on the alternatives available to #NZ: “First, we need leaders who understand that they are there to deliver health, prosperity & happiness to as many citizens as possible, not just the wealthy and privileged.” ➡️ 2

A complete shambles The government cut a $30m funding program, setup by the previous government to put solar panels on Marae. Low and behold, they then announce a $30m scheme to put solar panels on schools just prior to an election. Are people too blind to see?🤦🏻‍♂️ #nzpol

Erica Stanford thinks school children will be confused by Te Reo words, because Erica Stanford thinks white Kiwi children are really stupid. Stop judging Kiwi children by the standard of thought shown in Cabinet, Erica #nzpol

Admittedly, I'm only 18 minutes in to listening to this, worth sharing though, in my view. Trust has eroded so seriously across the political spectrum. This provides an alternative option for decision-making. #NZPol #Democracy #Change

Great article, accurate concerns. Don't listen, Do Vote #NZPol #Education Erica Stanford wants to tell you a story. Don’t listen. - Newsroom share.google/JH27YGQrioBc...

#RIPJuniper 😔💔 Such a talent and such a loss. Do listen if you can. Be kind, differences shouldn't be a reason for hatred and violence, but rather for learning, seeking to understand and value each other. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

These strat chats are great for helping people understand that there are many ways to solve problems. They also help us realise and use different strategies more efficiently ourselves in future problems, if we work on understanding what others have done. That's how we try and teach 🙌 #MathsIsFun
