Dougal Townsend took an incredible sequence of photos yesterday of a riroriro (grey warbler), one of NZ's two smallest birds, feeding a fledgling of pīpīwharauroa (shining cuckoo). Pīpīwharauroa are brood parasites of riroriro, which raise them as if they were their own young.

A message from the #Wellington #MaskBloc:
"We have opened donations again. In the first three months of running out of the Newtown Library, we have distributed over 2000 masks to the public. We would love to continue this amazing service into the new year. Just a $10 donation means we can buy on average 30 masks.
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, this would not have been possible without your support! 💫"

Next time you're outside, take a look at the clouds.
Anyone in #Wellington want a b/w laser printer?
Saved this Brother HL-L1230W from the tip - it needed a clean of the drum and works perfectly fine now. Comes with a spare unopened TN1070 toner cartridge.
Works fine via usb, no need to put on a WiFi.
