Actually saw a stoat yesterday (first ever!). It dashed out in front of me on the road and then turned and ran back, so fast that I was still trying to figure out what I'd just seen (and almost run over). Had no ideas we had stoats in town here. I guess we need more traps! #AoNZ #predatorfreenz
"Hey, big Aussie banks, let's talk windfall taxes."
"No...? So dropping credit card and paywaves charges is doable then...?"
Fkn thieves...when we talk about #PredatorFreeNZ, getting these f*ckers back on the leash should be a high priority...
Two photos side-by-side. On the left is a tree trunk smothered in ivy and on the right the ivy has been removed from the tree
I’m always doing something weird when @fromthemorgue.bsky.social is out walking his adorable dogs. Today I was removing ivy that’s smothering trees down by the awa. Little point doing predator removal if we’re not also restoring habitat #predatorfreenz

In need of tōhu & good news stories, so was pleased to see 7 kōtuku ngutupapa / royal spoonbills along the awa this morning. Usually only see 2 or 3 #teawakairangi #predatorfreenz

Is this the world's first kowhai moth detecting cat?!? I'm collecting larvae at home to rear at the lab for an ecology project. Pepper helps find the ones that drop to the ground. #entomology #predatorfreenz #kowhai #bugs #catswithjobs #indoorcat
Installing motion-detecting cameras was a game-changer for possum control here. I used to go out shooting whenever I saw fresh sign. But after 10 years, I realize I was massively underestimating the number of predators we have.

Woken by a possum. Tossing up if I get out of bed to sort it out or go back to sleep. #PredatorFreeNZ
Keeping possums as pets is a key potential barrier to realising #PredatorFreeNZ aspirations. #ResponsiblePetOwnership
