Thread: Morepork

A little before xmas I was in the fire station appliance bay while the truck was taking a drive down the road. I watched a puriri moth fly into the light, just in front of the door, from the rear of the appliance bay and out of no where a morepork swooped in and grabbed it and was gone again. Assume it was one, that or a small owl I guess

We've been at Blue Duck at Whakahoro and they hand feed the Moreporks those big Puriri moths. Bugger would swoop down and grab it right out of his fingers as it flapped there.
Cool party trick after a few out on the deck overlooking the Whanganui river.

Does the phrase 'good as wood' sound familiar?

I'm just back from doing a bit of work for Dan. Good man good people. Always worth a visit.
