My day today included *two* puddle bathing piwakawaka, NZ fantails, at two separate city reserves.

It's getting a bit dry in the city and small puddles are getting popular.

Meep Meep!

Autumn clean up time

Event in Christchurch, New Zealand by Opawa Community Gardens on Saturday, April 18 2026

Looks like there was an event on at Te Kaha this evening but they're now having their first ever fire drill! #Ōtautahi #Christchurch

After recent media stories about butterfly declines in New Zealand, centred around one transect in Nelson, it's heartening to see in Stacey Lewthwaite's graphs that kahukura and monarch butterflies have not declined around Christchurch. That's in the last two decades along my 78 km of transects.

@phlogiston Not sure if it might help, but I used this site (https://pvwatts.nlr.gov/) to estimate solar generation potential during my research before committing to installing rooftop #solar in #Christchurch. It even breaks down estimates to the hour of the day, over a year, if you’re willing to interrogate the CSV data it generates at the end. Lots of variables you can set, including panel orientation and tilt angle, etc. Fun for the whole family.
PVWatts

Estimates the energy production and cost of energy of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy systems throughout the world. It allows homeowners, small building owners, installers and manufacturers to easily develop estimates of the performance of potential PV installations

Someday, I should write a blog post detailing my experience trying to get my roof painted and rooftop #solar installed... and probably other general tradie tasks here in #Christchurch, #Aotearoa #NewZealand...

Kia ora all, I've just started a really cool new job at the end of last year as a tutor for Brain Play! We teach STEM subjects to groups of kids, and do 1:1 tutoring of #neurodivergent children too.

I'm AuDHD, so I empathise so much with the kids I get to work with.

Kind of an #ad but I really believe in the cause and am not being paid to share this, so there's that 😉
