And here is a taste of the sorts of bush delights we see on a daily basis. The Nikau tree has a peculiar habit of shedding the pod that has encased the developing flower. In full sunlight this morning, 2 trees shed the pod, revealing pink very squashed flowers. Over the day, they will open fully and spread into a fan shape.
Also, while on our bush walk down to our stream last night, we (or a friend did) spotted a baby shag. This is a sea bird and we have never ever seen one by our stream, which is about 5 km inland from the sea. You never know what you will see down our track!
