We are winning!

The kohekohe trees are in flower! Everyone says that if you see these flowers you have made a serious dent in the possum population, these being one of their favourite treats. They have bunches of delicate white flowers a bit like a hoya which grow straight from the wood of the trunk and branches. Very pretty. So now we have white kohokohe flowers mingling with the pink puriri flowers and berries on the track and the wood pigeons are having a great feast. They get so full they can't fly and plummet through the bush in a most ungainly way before regaining their balance. Hilarious.
