Best guess, please tell my bug finder if it's wrong!
Small patch on beach amongst driftwood and Ficinia nodosa. MPI notified. First South Island record.
Many seedlings nearby. Working nearby this incursion doing some unrelated dune surveys. MPI coming to eradicate the population as it's a very bad weed in Australian dune systems.
Sea Spurge site at Oakura. One mature plant found and removed on 11 August.
I heard this had been seen at Paraparaumu Beach so had a look for it. At least a dozen plants at this spot, including some seedlings. Reported to MPI who are following up.
Spotted in Westmere, Auckland
I am not sure about this I.D. . Being an almost identically sized bird this photo was taken meters away from the two photos of the previous adult and young . Male / Female Robin possibly ?
