He said each earthquake resulted in damage of over $2 million. However, IAG’s lawyer, Christine Meechan QC, said both earthquakes had one contributing catalyst – the September 2010 earthquake. She said that was the underlying link, even though the February and June jolts were months apart. The Court of Appeal has reserved its decision.

The community and researchers can access items which were previously near invisible, like a glass plate negative collection. In 2018, the museum received lottery funding to support the digitisation project, which had twin goals – to create high-resolution preservation copies, and to enable the collection to be properly catalogued for the first time. People can search through the web-based collection catalogue site eHive, and they can add information to the online records. Images include historic Lyttelton streets and buildings, gatherings and parades; the two world war periods; harbour shipping and maritime events, landscapes, panoramas and people. “We’re excited to see what new information people can provide about the pictures to help us build our repository of harbour stories for the new Lyttelton Museum,” Dr McCarthy said. The museum contracted technician Amy Ryan to work on the collection, which took 14 months to complete. Lyttelton Museum committee members Murray McGuigan and Lizzie Meek managed the project working with New Zealand Micrographic Services at their Christchurch office based at Canterbury Museum. To celebrate the launch of the online repository, the museum is IN 1932, TWO strangelooking birds with a bright yellow wattle and bill – the spur-winged plover – appeared on the outskirts in Invercargill. Arriving from Australia, they liked what they saw here and stayed. The number grew to five in 1934 and by 1971, there was a total of 827 birds counted around Southland. They bred, then spread, and can now be found anywhere in New Zealand. Spur-winged plover are not fussy about what they eat and are quite happy to consume anything from crustaceans, insects, leaves, molluscs and worms. They are quite happy to nest in any open area – like farm paddocks, wetlands or sports fields. running a series of online exhibitions via their website, named LocalEyes. The first exhibition is curated by Lyttelton local Joe Bennett. His selection, including commentary on why he chose the images, will be on display until July 31. • The Lyttelton Museum collection catalogue, which now includes the image collection listings, can be found through the museum’s website http:// www.lytteltonmuseum.co.nz/ collections • To view the first LocalEyes exhibition curated by Mr Bennett, visit https://www. lytteltonmuseum.co.nz/ localeyes-exhibition Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon- Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area. BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY Spur-winged plover pairs mate for life and are normally quiet and shy until they start nesting. From demure, they change their personalities to a couple of incredibly loud and fiercely protective parents. One parent bird will sit on the eggs, while the other will stand nearby with a watchful eye, barely allowing time to feed themselves the entire BEEN OUT CYClINg DURINg lOCKDOWN aND DECIDED IT’S TIME TO... upgrade to an e-bike 12 MONTHS INTEREST FREE * *conditions apply HISTORY: The charred remains of the Rhind & Co grain store on Norwich Quay where a major fire broke out on Christmas Eve in 1942.

They will nervously look for anything that comes near their nest and will fly up in the air, shrieking loudly and without any fear at all attack hawks, rats, dogs, cats and people. There have been many incidents recorded by unsuspecting walkers, cyclists and farmers being relentlessly attacked by a parent spurwinged plover. It’s not as if you can avoid them either, because as soon as the chicks hatch, the More e-BrandS More e-ChoiCe ‘family’ will leave the nest for good and will wander around looking for food. So watch out, they could be anywhere. How can we help protect our estuary bird life? Stress is detrimental to all bird species, preventing birds from resting, feeding and protecting nests or chicks. Enjoy watching birds from a distance. Don’t approach them and please, keep your dogs on the lead when you are near our estuary. NEED YOUR BIKE OR SCOOTER SERVICED THIS WINTER?
