Just occasionally you get a email newsletter that inspires you and today is that day… in the course of reading my Forest and Bird newsletter I came across a forthcoming adventure.. one of those you wish you too could do… a Belgian- Spanish family with their one year old daughter Ella are to cycle 4000km from Cape Reinga to Dunedin to raise funds for Forest and Bird. How cool is that!
During the trip beginning 1st November (if Wouter’s knee recovers – check their blog!), Vanessa, Wouter and Ella will be doing various challenges to raise money – the first challenge they have accepted is streaking naked through Cathedral Square in Christchurch! (Here my thoughts of joining them fly apart!! – they would be on their own for that bit!) Challenges will be determined by the public, and can be issued via their website: www.cycle4nature.org . Donations can be made through their website or through fundraising website givealittle
If you are interested in birdlife and nature, do also check out another blog, which is always worth a browse… Will Parsons from Driftwood Ecotours Marlborough’s answer to David Bellamy.
He and Rose have just got back from Iceland – wicked photos for sure…and Myths and Legends Ecotours, Guardians of the Sounds.
for now, Tika
The kereru pictured here is one of Will’s too, and having spent quite a while the other morning trying to photograph one in our garden, I can truly appreciate the beauty of both the bird and the success of the photograph. Orginally from Scotland the size of these native pigeons(kereru) always amazes me!
