Barry and the Muttonbirds

I'm a guest columnist on the Wellington.Scoop website while Lindsay Shelton is away in Spain. The brief was to write about anything in the greater Wellington region, so I wrote about Barry and the muttonbirds. Rather pleased with the piccy [and the article, actually.]

It occurs to me as I write this that my bird-loving blogger friends like Gondal Girl and Paradoxical Cat are going to think me a hypocrite - writing a stack of heartfelt posts about how marvellous birds are and then reporting enthusiastically on chomping through baby shearwaters wrenched from their burrows .... [what can I say?]

On a different note, I recommend Scoop.Wellington for a great way to keep up with what's happening in the capital city - Lindsay does some wonderful sleuthing round them thar streets and there are useful links to all sorts of activities and events.
