• 450 Km to drive home today. We plan to go down through National Park again but then through Whanganui rather than Waiouru. Just for a change. Meeting friends for lunch at National Park (they’ve been down to Levin ā€” we had lunch with them at Bulls when we came north).

  • For the longest time I thought we had Banded dotterels at Waikawa Beach but after close investigation I now think they are the very similar Wrybills. Iā€™m pretty sure that beak has a curve to the right.

    Length: 20 cm; Weight: 55 grams.

  • Yesterday Waikawa Beach was under a Beach and Marine Threat Warning, while parts of the northeast of Aotearoa New Zealand were under a Tsunami Warning.

    Still, this Tsunami Alert sign popped up at the main entrance to the beach.
