Quite a bit of bird activity in the garden with Tuis, Bellbirds, Fantails and Wood pigeons looking for winter sustenance. We haven't sprayed the outside of the house for bugs and I am sure that this encourages the Fantails in close to help with the house keeping! Over the last couple of weeks we have had sporadic visits by a Kaka, down from the Ruahines for a look around, fantastic! Heard it today but unfortunately didn't catch a glimpse. Moreporks also very noisy at night. When the Porina moths are flying, earlier in the year, we turn on the outside flood light and sit on the veranda and watch the Moreporks swooping in to catch them.

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

Welcome to the Gwavas Garden blog.

This time of the year we are getting on with our maintenance, prunning, mulching & weedeating however this month has been very wet so have not been able to get on as much as I would have liked. Daphne bholua providing lovely scent throughout the garden. The first Snowdrop Galanthus nivalis is out. Hopefully this blog will improve over time!!
