Golden Pheasant.
Yes, he is still around, the golden pheasant was seen flying down near the bottom of Kaiuru Ave.
Pheasants fly very low and for only a very short distance but there is not mistaking the long flowing tail.
It is believed that this bird was originally kept by people on the Omori Road, who had a variety of different birds and animals. The birds would be released from their cages during the day and housed again at night when they were fed, only this adventurous pheasant took off to explore the countryside. It is quite amazing that he has survived for several years.

Labour Day Week-end
The weather for the long week-end was very mixed indeed but some fishermen were able to launch their boats.. There seemed less houses occupied than is usual for a long week-end but with the new school term commencing immediately after, some parents were have prefered to stay at home.
The final of the World Cup well, have we ever had so much suspence in a game before. Full credit to the team who kept their cool giving us something to be very proud of. It has been a great event and New Zealand can be proud of our efforts, I am sure tourist would go home planning another visit to see more of our country.

Pukawa so far this month has experienced 158mls of rain. It has fallen over a number of weeks so the bush and ferns will benefit but sadly it ruins the flower kowhais and is not good for nesting birds, especially ground nesting birds.
So far we have not seen any quail chicks who are always the casualties in wet weather.
