Mangroves growing in tyre tracks

Mangroves growing in tire tracks on Mangawhai spit

When clearing mangroves you will need to leave the surface very flat, they will settle in very small depressions.

BioBlitz

My son found this albino cockroach on a night walk through Kepa Bush.

BioBlitz is awesome. I had a great time learning about fungus:

I have been helping monitor the release of 10+ Takahe at Tawharanui Open Sanctuary with telemetry gear. It has been fun work, great people and amazing scenery. The birds have also gown on me. Some photos (the number is the channel we monitor them on):

Inorganic rubbish collecting in Omaru creek

Trash collected and piled up on the side of the road.

I had some help from Lucas this year and we pulled out some really big bits of trash. The most interesting thing being an entire cash register! I had pulled the shopping trolley in the photo out of the creek a few months ago when it first went in. I did call PAK’nSave and give them an address for where their expensive trolley was. Unfortunately it was eventually biffed back in the creek and is now ruined.

Australian droplet tunicate (Eudistoma elongatum) in Whangarei Harbour

So ugly, they look worse at low tide… sea snot. Amazing how dense the beds are given its only just been introduced to New Zealand. I guess we better get used to them.
