On October 5th we joined Operations Manager Paula Cross of Otago Peninsula Biodiversity Group (OPBG) for some more trap line checking out at Sandy Mount 🐾
We didn’t find any hedgehogs this time, but plenty of Possum footprints, and at one of the AT220 traps almost half a dozen rats & mice! 🐀🐀🐀🐀
The AT220s are used to target Possums & Ship Rats, but mice often get caught in them too - Not a bad thing as all three of these climbing mammals have been introduced to New Zealand & like to feast on birds’ eggs & chicks 🐭🍽️🪺🐣
They also feed on leaves, flowers & bugs, & so compete with the native animals for food 💀
Conservation groups like OPBG are working hard to eradicate these invasive mammal pests, gradually restoring the ecosystems of the native NZ bush 💪🏻🌱
While we were clearing the tracks for the rangers & volunteers to access the traps, we saw a common butterfly in NZ, a Kahukura (NZ Red Admiral). Its Māori name comes from its vibrant colours, meaning “Red Cloak”. ❤️
The Ongaonga (Tree Nettle) also pictured is the food plant for Kahukura’s caterpillars - pretty amazing given how toxic this nettle is; its sting causes painful burning rashes, loss of movement, paralysis, convulsions, & even neurological damage 😱
We also heard Riroriro (Grey Warblers) calling from the shrubs around us, & Nate even saw a Miromiro (NZ Tomtit) singing from a Harakeke (NZ Flax) - Proof that as the rats, mice & possums disappear from NZ’s landscape, the native birds will return 🐦🎶

With scandalous stories of multiple marriages, deaths, betrayals and infidelity, Larnach Castle’s history is as dramatic as its lavish Victorian architecture.

Astonishing starlit landscape by Tom Rae (txmrae)
Tom says:
"Aoraki to Andromeda
The Andromeda galaxy, at a distance of 2.5 million light years away, above New Zealand's highest mountain Aoraki Mount Cook. With quite a bit of planning and luck, I’m happy to share with you an alignment that as far as I am aware has never been captured before in New Zealand! This image is legit and is not a composite or ‘fake’ - everything was taken at the same time from the same location. It is an exceptionally difficult photo to pull off due to the number of factors including the very low angle of Andromeda from this latitude and the alignment itself, the moon phase, airglow conditions, as well as perfect weather and temperature which is rare for this part of the country. With all things considered, this leaves a very small window each year in which this alignment can be captured, hope you like it!

Trial by trail.
Star trail images take hours to bring to life… from conception, capture and then to edit.. this bucketlist image was a test in gear management in -20°c in the height of winter at 2600m.
Star trails are a great way to accentuate an already amazing lamdscape.
Let us show you the tools, so you can pounce on getting that dream banger 🔥

With vast panoramic ocean views and a rural setting in the foreground, the elevated north facing site for this new home was always going to deliver something special. A structural concrete exterior wall to the west deliberately anchors the built forms to the site while providing privacy and shelter from the wind to the pool area.
