The ANTHROPAUSE

Summer is here and at our place, the fledgling birds are tentatively making their way into the world for the first time. The young tūī calls still require a lot of work before they reach their full potential, but practice makes perfect. They have been given a helping hand by a long-running community effort to control predators, and it’s satisfying to see the change happening so quickly.

This is the time of grandparents, if you stop and reflect, you know how it has changed.
