Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
Me too. One of my favourites in Wellington was that thing like a tiny lagoon next to the wharf, great for spotting them.
When I was swimming the other day it swam right up to me! Like, almost touching! I knew it was in the water with me because I’d floated over it earlier but I wasn’t expecting anything like that. They are so beautiful. Made my year.
That’s really cool!
Yes, the Whairepo Lagoon is a great place to see them! You can sometime see them in other calm areas along that waterfront as well.
Aha, so I’m not misremembering that it’s a lagoon! Long time since I was running around there. I remember seeing one a few times near a… some kind of poem they have inscribed in metal on the waterfront path.
I love how their wings ripple. Also they have very calm faces.
