As it's almost impossible to get some plant-based burger patties in NZ nowadays... Morningstar, Bird's Eye, even Impossible and Beyond seem to have left the market... It's time to create 'em yourself. DIY patties.
Tasty attempt nr. 1 😋 Good mix of TVP, beans and breadcrumbs... Next time add some vital wheat gluten as well.
Combined with Nu-Dairy's plant-based cheese and condiments it was the perfect Thursday lunch.

Phew! I just uploaded the last batch of my lowest priority photos that I took during last month's #CityNatureChallenge. While my last batches of observations don't count towards the official tally, they do help map out these species on #iNaturalist.
My personal target for this year's challenge was 700 wild taxa and 7,000 observations in the 4-days. In the end I've uploaded 7,276 observations of 963 taxa, of which 6,857 observations and 868 taxa were wild.
(I reckon 10,000 observations of 1,000 species is probably possible for one person with a lot of planning, even in a relatively low diversity city like Ōtautahi-Christchurch.)
Next week, I'll see if I can finish summarising all the important new finds made in the City Nature Challenge events in Aotearoa-NZ (there were a lot) and write a post about it on iNaturalist NZ.
In the meantime, below are three of my favourites of the photos I uploaded, and a map of my observations from the challenge.

We've been waking to autumn fog over the Canterbury Plains in NZ these past few days. This morning before work I set my camera on its interval timer to make a timelapse.
Here's the result. It's surprising how dynamic the fog bank is, flowing by like a river.
If you keep watching, you'll see the fog gradually retreat back to the mountains as the sun comes up.

#RNZ has a story today about the Launceston Leioproctus bee, a bee that’s back again in the Ōtautahi-Christchurch area of NZ. This bee had initially been named as a native bee, Leioproctus otautahi, based on a single male specimen collected over 50 years ago, until it was realised that it’s the same species as the Australian bee Leioproctus launcestonensis. Since it hadn’t been seen since, in 2012 NZ bee experts concluded that “the species is almost certainly not established, and the number of species of Leioproctus known from New Zealand is reduced by one to 17.”
Turns out it’s either still here, or it’s arrived again, as five Launceston Leioproctus bees have been photographed in the wider Christchurch area on #iNaturalistNZ since 2021. This is still the only place in NZ where this bee has been found.
It will be interesting to learn how this Australian is getting on with the local native species of Leioproctus.

Another year, another new aphid in town. On the weekend I found a cluster of black aphids feeding on the flower buds of a Japanese aralia in Christchurch, NZ.
They match the description of ivy aphids, a Eurasian native aphid that specialises on ivy and related plants in the Araliaceae family.
The species was first spotted in Auckland in 2015 (on #iNaturalist), and mine is the second record of the species from NZ's South Island. The first was an observation by Libby Stevens in Christchurch in October.
It's worth keeping an eye out for. It would be great if it helped knock back the competitiveness of English ivy, which is a weed here. More worryingly, it's also known overseas to feed on *Schefflera* species, and NZ's endemic patē, seven finger, is *Schefflera digitata*. NZ's whaupaku, five-finger, and horoeka, lancewood, are also in the Araliaceae, so please keep an eye out for any black aphids feeding on these.

Looks like #Microsoft will be the big winner from #NZ public service cuts. Let's hope the eye of Sauron passes over Hobbiton. This is more than a loss of data #sovereignty, it's a loss of sovereignty.

We were on our way from That Wanaka Tree to Lake Pukaki. The day wasn’t the most scenic one but for sure the soft light rewarded us this day with beautiful, atmospheric panorama in Lindis Pass. Enjoy!

While North Island kōkako are now rising in numbers, thanks to intensive predator control and translocations, the same cannot be said for the more elusive South Island kōkako. Sadly, that may now be extinct. In 2023 Frank Films made an excellent short documentary on Rhys Buckingham and his life-long quest to find South Island kōkako. We still live in hope that the last few birds might still be alive and be found.

@climate.skyfleet.blue I'm pleased (and surprised) that New Zealand had the good sense to support this United Nations decision.
I wonder how this new international recognition, that countries are legally required to act to reduce global warming, will affect the current NZ government's attempts to muzzle NZ court cases against them for their lack of action against climate change.
