The birds, the birds...

I'm surprised at how much the local birdlife has burgeoned over the last few decades. I somewhat arrogantly presumed the birdlife preferred the city and Karori to the 'burbs. But I've nearly been floored by low flying kereru twice now, and the river birds are thriving. I've even seen pukekoes.

An interesting gate to somewhere uninteresting.

Golf is a mystery to me. The most I have done is a few buckets at a driving range. I aimed for a guy in an armoured ball collector. Still, golf courses are nice. Actually, I have a cousin who is so good, he gets to be partnered with celebs for charity golf matches in the UK.
