Ecosanctuary opens its gate

Golden Bay Sheetmetal

JO RICHARDS

When the ecosanctuary at Cape Farewell swung open its steel gate to the public last Sunday morning, around 75 people passed through.

The heavy gate provides the only access to HealthPost Nature Trust’s (HPNT) fenced sanctuary which was created to eliminate pests, facilitate coastal ecosystem restoration and reestablish viable breeding populations of endangered seabirds.

Last month a consignment of 56 pakahā (fluttering shearwater) chicks was brought to the sanctuary where they were placed in specially constructed burrows to allow them to safely fledge. But before they fly off to sea for what could be several years, the birds must be hand fed for up to six weeks.

On Sunday, members of the public watched project volunteers including Raelene Mason, Meret Weiss and Tiana Olney bring a steady stream of young birds from their burrows in the inner sanctuary to the feeding hut for their daily meal.

On one of several trips to the hut, Collingwood year 13 student Tiana carefully lifted Kiara out of her carrier box and held it while Patsy Garrett filled a syringe with a light brown liquid which she then fed through a narrow flexible tube into the bird’s mouth. “It’s anchovy and sardine smoothie, with seabird vitamins and fish oil,” explained Patsy. “We give them between 10 and 70ml depending on weight and wing.”

Inside the hut a whiteboard marked the progress of the chicks from fledglings to frequent flyers. The wings added to the individual bird symbols showed that, so far, of the 56 arrivals there had been 20 departures.

The sanctuary is not all about birds – the long-term aim is to re-establish a wide range native flora and fauna. On one of the footpaths that criss-cross the sanctuary project volunteer and media contact Nate Wilbourne was speaking to HPNT chair Peter Butler and trustee Chris Wheatley about having recently observed a couple of green geckos – evidence that the ecosystem within the protected area recovering. “That’s a good sign,” said Peter.

Speaking on Tuesday, project manager Marian Milne provided an update on pakahā departures. “Birds are taking flight in steady numbers daily now with 4-5 leaving each day at the moment. Just 30 birds on site this morning to be fed. Which is just how it should be. They are leaving in perfect condition nicely full feathered and good weights.” out our books, iPhone/iPad Apps and much more on our store. The

Acid on the microphone

Ray O’Leary at the Mussel Inn

SUBMITTED

Golden Bay poet Emma Callaghan kicks off the 2023 season of Acid on the Microphone at the Mussel Inn this month. Hosted by Golden Bay Live Poets Society, Acid on the Microphone can lay claim to be the longest running open mic night in the Bay, running now for 28 years or so.

And guest poet for the night, Emma Callaghan, will certainly bring some sass and power to the microphone with her words and performance.

Emma won the Golden Bay/Nelson regional Poetry Slam competition last year and represented the region in the NZ National Poetry Slam in Auckland in November and what an impact she made.

Emma made it through to the second round and on the way won the “Spirit of the Slam” Award.

“ You will find Emma’s range of styles and subject matter inspiring and challenging. So gather your friends for an excellent night out at the Mussel Inn, we’d love to see you there,” says spokesman Mark Raffills.

Mussel Inn, Thursday 23 February, 7.30pm. $5 on the door.

Ray O’Leary is serious about jokes. If his trademark suit and tie don’t tell you he means funny business, his critical acclaim and audience responses sure do. His sharp writing and signature delivery have had crowds across Aotearoa doubled over with laughter, whilst he barely moves a muscle. A regular comedian on Have You Been Paying Attention? and 7 Days, Ray also appeared in a 2021 episode of Bill Bailey’s Patriot Brains which made a comeback with new host Sue Perkins in 2022. He can be seen in the TV series Raised by Refugees, Golden Boy, and brand-new sketch show for kids My Favourite Dead Person for which he is also a writer.

On the road with a back-to-back schedule, the February – March tour is a massive independent undertaking; determined to bring laughs to Golden Bay, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin, Hawke’s Bay, Rotorua, Tauranga, Hamilton, Palmerston North, and Ray’s hometown of Whanganui.

Expect an hour of all-new, completely original jokes about things you never thought could be funny.

Pōhara stormwater improvements

Tasman District Council investigations into stormwater requirements at Pōhara have led to the construction of a series of improvements to reduce the risk of flooding to properties in future storms.

Stage one has been completed on Selwyn Street with the installation of a timber retaining wall.

Stage two is scheduled to begin on Monday 20 February and involves the construction of two larger capacity culverts underneath Abel Tasman Drive. Work will take about two months and the road will be reduced to one lane.

Stage three is scheduled to begin in early March with the construction of a clay bund wall.

We ask for your patience and care when driving through the site.
