Well I couldn't make the video work on my blog here, but it you would like to watch the Kaka Parrot at its feeder click here.

As for photos, those of you with facebook have seen a few. Those of you following along here, I finally had success! One is the view flying into Wellington, one is the fault lines of the techtonic plates, a colassal squid and the other 2 are from Zealandia where I'm returning tonight on a hike to look for kiwi and nocturnal parrots!

Weather is great, though today Windy Wellington is living up to its name adding a bit of a chill to the air. When you find a place sheltered from the wind though you'll find that temperatures are still in the high teens or low twenties.

This morning I went out before anything was open in search of a place that sells coffee and ended up hanging out on the warf watching the colleges having their dragon boat races. The spirit behind the groups was amazing and the power just impressive. I enjoyed my coffee and watched surrounded by a group of girls whose other team members were in a race. Impressive as it was I luckily can still hear out of both ears... I think. How fast? REAL FAST!

Next I found a market of new zealand artisans and while I wanted to buy everything I managed to resist. I did find some of the requested fabric for Mom to quilt with. It's awesome... I want the quilt that she makes with it :D

Thats all for now folks. I'll be on again later to let you know if I saw a kiwi. Tomorrow I move to the volunteer house and hopefully into a bed closer to the floor!
