  1. Is there anyone here from Putāruru? Do you use inaturalist.nz? It would be great to get a #ruru observation from there! They are a bit hard to capture in an acceptable format, though. @joncounts

  3. Two Ruru (moreporks) in a tree taken by a visitor at the Butler Point Whaling Museum, Historic House and Gardens late in January. Not often seen in the daytime #aotearoa #doubtlessbay #butlerpoint #ruru

  4. My Port Hills audio recorders seem to have detected a ruru (morepork) in Kennedy's Bush. This morning I listened to the sections of recording that BirdNet had identified with moderate certainty as being riflemen (no, these were baby korimako), pīpipi (no, these were a combination of riroriro and piwakawaka singing at once), and ruru. Surprisingly, the ruru seem to be ruru, just five detections in total over a 10 day stretch from Kennedy's Bush.

    I've just posted them on #iNaturalist, where they're the first ruru from the Port Hills. I recently heard that someone had heard a ruru at Living Springs, and eBird has one record, without a recording, from Hackthorne Road from 2023. I'm not aware of any ruru in Kennedys Bush or elsewhere in the Port Hills.

    It's promising, if true. Oddly, my owl was singing in the day time. Perhaps it's a young bird travelling.

    Have a listen and please disagree if you know of another local bird that would make similar calls.

  9. Once again I am hindering my feed-friendliness by posting a bookmark-shaped bookshelf, but here’s the thing: I wanted to paint a bookshelf bookmark, so I did. Guest starring a very special lil terrarium, and a reading ruru enjoying a nice cup of tea.
    Which book is your favourite? Mine is the one by PG Wodehouse where Bertie and Jeeves agree to stay together forever because I am a sap

  10. @va2lam Yes we have one or two, never can really tell, in the bush around my home in Tāmaki Makaurau. There's something incredibly comforting and therapeutic about drifting off to sleep while listening to the call of a #Ruru.

  11. In my opinion the most #SuperbOwl in the world is the #Ruru aka the #morepork, an owl native to #Aotearoa #NewZealand. This is a recording of its nocturnal call.

  12. Just stepped outside to look at Jupiter in the Northwest sky and suddenly heard a Ruru/Morepork close by. It is on my roof. And still calling. Good hunting tonight, little buddy!

  13. Just a few coin purses fused and cut.
    Next up: fuse the labels then overlock the edges, then sew them up, and finally, trim, turn and press.
    How many do you reckon are here?
    And how many did you reckon I’ll get stitched in the next 24 hours (I’ll run out of zips for some…)?

  18. Last night I heard a Ruru in our trees. This is the third one I have heard on our property in 2 decades.

    Both my partner and I grew up in Akatarawa where Ruru were very common.

    It was fantastic to hear it.

    Central Hawkes Bay is so open and has no tree corridors so we don't get a lot of larger native bird life in the towns.

  19. Few things emphasise the power of socialisation to me like kiwis insisting the ruru - a native owl, called the morepork in English- says "more pork" in its call.

    It's about time someone stands up and says the emperor has no clothes and the ruru is definitely not saying "more pork".

    There's an audio clip of the ruru hoot hooting here, don't just take my word. doc.govt.nz/nature/native-anim

    Her character is super adorable! Hugs! 💙
