Well, it feels like paradise. Daughter
Jenny is home from the UK and the weather has been wonderful most of the time. In
the week before Christmas Jenny and I made an early morning visit to Zealandia.
We saw a great variety of wildlife –
kereru
tui
takahe
kaka
kakariki
in fact more kakariki than you could shake a
stick at
tieke
robin
and tuatara.
Jenny loved exploring the bush
and hamming it up on the elevated look out.
Christmas day dawned sunny, warm and still.
We had breakfast on the deck.
Yesterday we visited Makara and climbed up
the cliff to the windfarm. This is looking south across Opau Bay to the south island.
The turbines are erected on the ridges surrounding the valleys.
Looking north with Mana and Kapiti Islands in the distance the new Mill Creek windfarm is visible.
Jenny pretended she was a rabbit (she is a very silly girl).
