Rails and Rats

It is always a joy to see Rails in our wetland. 

We poison bait, trap and all that. Still have rats. Always will have them but maybe a few less.

Winter Garden Produce

Not so much in our garden in the winter but what there is is good.
Juicy Kaffir Limes, Bananas, Choko (Chayote), lemon and limes.

Fungi at Old Mill Ln

All these kinds of fungi are on one dead Kowhai at the beginning of The Waiotoi Track at Old mill Ln. Amazing!

William Parata Wellington Reserve - Dolphin Place, Tutukaka

A tight blue balloon stretched over the sky with a few cloud pictures on it. It was a stunning day.
We walked up to the trig on the William Parata Wellington Memorial Reserve off Dolphin Place.
This site has the best coastal view  in the area. On a clear day one can see from Cape Rodney to Cape Brett, Great Barrier Is, Mokohinau Islands, The Poor Knight Islands, Maro Tiri Islands, Taranga and Hauturu. Pretty amazing.
