Birds making their nest on our plastic owl😂

jumped onto the transom to escape a bara. i found it too late. dead.

Observed and photographed by Nesta Devine in suburban garden and sent to me by email. This record and photograph are posted with her permission.

Apparently self-seeded in a public garden.
Obscured because I’m curious to see how big it will get before someone pulls it.

Golden-crowned snake consuming a rather large near legless skink

Washed up on the beach. I have no idea what it is.

young one, right inside the sound. there was a bigger one out by the nee islets that was probably this ones mum.

Cool to find these again, and now I know where they live. There were lots of them in the upper intertidal area of the rocks, this was around high tide. Habitat shots last.

~3-5mm long
<1m depth

Found one! Quite conspicuous when not in C. germinata.

~4cm long
<1m depth

I know I'm spamming these guys, but these images show two mating, or at least trying to!

I can take better photos soon, but I’m too excited by my tiny find to wait :)

Cartilage? Found on beach (in Coromandel?) about 25 years ago.

2 individuals near each other one paler and smaller than the other.
Both ~0.7cm long

With eggs!

~0.5cm diameter

Inside see through casing. Alive. Many of them scattered throughout beach. Some just had eggs inside them. Open from both ends.

The observation before was for the Ruru.
