🌙 At night, you might even spot them hanging from the leaves on a silk thread, dangling and wriggling in the breeze

Have a looksie next time you're out in the dark? We've recently spotted looper caterpillars in Takarunga and in Wakakura.

🦭 In August, a kekeno popped up at Maungauika!

Kekeno spend heaps of their time in the moana and on rocky coastlines, but they’ve been found up to 15km inland while following awa (rivers) 🌊

How often do you see kekeno around Devonport? Letting us know about cool te taiao (environmental) finds helps with RTH's monitoring of the peninsula 🔍

Ruru are moving into the neighbourhood! 🦉

Natural tree hollows can be hard for ruru to find, so these boxes give them a safe spot to roost and raise their young, alongside our predator control mahi 🌿

Got a big old tree, you’re trapping, and can clean a ruru box once a year? You could host one!

Spot a ruru? We’d love to know 📩 [email protected]

Made with lots of aroha by George and the volunteer team at Ryman’s ❤️

And while we’re talking ruru... have you voted for Bird of the Year? 👀🦉
