Global delegates have landed in Ōtepoti Dunedin for the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses & Petrels (#ACAP) seabird summit. We hope this week’s meeting will encourage countries to adopt stronger protections at sea – b/c saving these special species takes global commitment & local action.

Another #weeklyvomit from pakake 🦭

Found close to this wee male on a sunny Ōtepoti beach - and full of kahawai!

Check out how far the stones/gastroliths were spread. Must have been quite a spew 😳

Loving the last decades reclamation of native language and folk music for eurovision!

Sweater is Sunday Cardigan by Petite Knit. A gift from mum so pretty sure yarn is some rough nordic blend from the family stash 😁

This weeks prompt for #showmeyourknits had me thrown back to when I stopped the car in the middle of the road, and ran way up a hill to dig my fingers in snow.

Pretty sure my partner, who I had just started dating, questioned my sanity...

But I hadn't seen snow in nearly three years!!

One of my favourite creations is the Rita Sweater from Not Perfect Knit 🤗

Pretty special when Rita and her granddaughter who made the pattern, Rikke, are friends of our family!

Extra special when knitted in leftover DK yarn, from three sweaters I made for my partner ❤️

Snakeskin chitons are the coolest! This one must be old with all those barnacles 👀

Wrapped up a year-long field season yesterday and already feeling nostalgic!

So have decided to overdose my bsky in the coming months with a #weeklyvomit from pakake/NZ sea lions 🦭

This one features a prime example of Jack Mackerel 🐟

Pretty entertaining seeing Danish relatives saying 3 days is "overkill" while I live in a place where being prepared for at least 14 days is just common sense 😅

It's been a busy Easter for our volunteers! Most visitors and residents have been kind and supportive ❤️
But unfortunately we've seen some verbal abuse and near misses too 🙄
