I am also now forced to leave my mom's side in South Africa for fear of not being able to get back to NZ if I stayed my intended duration. However, the outpouring of support from friends and family has been immense and we are so grateful. Thank you everyone! #staystrong

With the latest travel announcement in NZ I will be self isolating on my return from RSA next week - because it isn't about me, it's about those who may not have the immune system to fight it. #coronavirus #BeResponsible https://t.co/hvX2kLi3CL

[Debbie Fogell @PBFDebbie]

@hihinews Thankfully you are isolated in a place with great food and wine. Rimani forte.

[Debbie Fogell @PBFDebbie]

@ro_martin This will be an interesting read!

The enthusiasm is fabulous and made me giggle. The 🐨 looks bored and he is super chuffed. Nice to see some green coming back up after such devastation.

We’ve had an unexpected surprise at our #Scottsdale Reserve which was impacted by bushfire in Feb.

A koala has made its way into 10 year old #reveg! 🐨🌱

Here’s Reserve Manager Phil Palmer with the full story.

Shoutout to volunteer Alistair Bestow who spotted the healthy koala

This is #hihi chick number 200 to be banded this season. It’s only the third time in 25 years that the #TiritiriMatangi population has produced over 200 chicks in a season! @docgovtnz

I bought a bamboo toothbrush,
As I’d like to save the planet,
I bought it for each kittiwake
and albatross, and gannet,
To try to send a message out
To everyone like me,
Who always bought the plastic ones,
Which end up in the sea.

@reptile_rob @Simon_Tolly @Corry_Liz @DurrellWildlife @Raspberry_Pi @ThePiHut Yup. We have made some good progress with this and should hopefully be testing it out on some birds over the next breeding season. Happy to chat.

2019 brought with it a completed #PhD, a move to a new continent, an engagement and a new job. To celebrate, here's a little clip of some #endangered #whio picking their way up a river in the Bay of Plenty. 🤞for that illusive wild #kokako of 2020. Also a #kea... because parrots.
