Jenkins said the event was<br />
timed for Mothers Day weekend<br />
to “give Mother Nature a gift”.<br />
Volunteers were also dismayed<br />
by the amount of dog faeces found<br />
along the river and estuary edges.<br />
“Many were in plastic bags,<br />
which The only Star, January adds to 23, the <strong>2025</strong> problem,”<br />
Jenkins said.<br />
“I hope dog owners realise this<br />
is not only unpleasant for others<br />
but also a major source of water<br />
pollution.”<br />
She said while that was<br />
disappointing, she was heartened<br />
by the huge turnout on Saturday.<br />
“It just shows that people really<br />
do care.”<br />

Cameron Bailey and the Harcourts Gold team made our home sale smooth,<br />
professional, and stress-free!<br />
The decision to downsize and sell our ‘forever’ home was a major life event.<br />
However, the decision as to who would best be suited to undertake this sales task<br />
was equally foreboding. Cameron Bailey and the team at Harcourts Gold for us<br />
was an excellent decision. The efficient and effective sales process and system that<br />
Cameron and his team diligently follow made this normally stressful period an<br />
unbelievably stress-free event.<br />

Skies alive with seasonal bird movements<br />
AS THE SEASONS shift,<br />
wildlife The Star, migrations <strong>May</strong> <strong>15</strong>, <strong>2025</strong> are under<br />
way across the city.<br />
In March, the godwits began<br />
their annual journey to Alaska,<br />
while many local waterbirds<br />
migrated to Australia and the<br />
North Island.<br />
Land The Star, birds <strong>May</strong> are <strong>15</strong>, also <strong>2025</strong> on<br />
the move, with fantails now<br />
appearing more frequently<br />
across the city. Bellbirds, grey<br />
warblers, and finches are<br />
becoming more visible during<br />
the cooler months.<br />
One surprising<br />
migratory<br />
species is the<br />
familiar harrier<br />
hawk.<br />
While not<br />
often considered<br />
a migratory<br />
bird, many harriers<br />
shift to<br />
lowland and<br />
coastal areas<br />
during autumn and winter –<br />
Andrew<br />
Crossland<br />
with significant numbers passing<br />
through Christchurch.<br />
City council parks ecologist<br />
Andrew Crossland said autumn<br />
is when harriers are often<br />
spotted flying north over city<br />
suburbs or feeding on roadkill in<br />
rural areas.<br />
“They’re sometimes slow<br />
to react to approaching cars,<br />
especially young birds just a few<br />
months old,” he said.<br />
Harriers are easily recognised<br />
by the white patch of feathers on<br />
SEASONAL SHIFT: Migrating harrier hawks and visiting fantails are just two of the many<br />
native birds on the move across the city during autumn.<br />

the backs of their heads.<br />
Whether their seasonal<br />
movements count as true<br />
migration or simply postbreeding<br />
dispersal is still debated<br />
among ornithologists. However,<br />
sightings of harriers flying<br />
along the northern Canterbury<br />
and Marlborough coasts – and<br />
crossing Cook Strait – suggest a<br />
migration pattern.<br />
“Council park rangers have,<br />
over many years, documented<br />
harrier numbers doubling<br />
along Kaitorete Spit and around<br />
the Avon-Heathcote Estuary/<br />
Ihutai, with a dominant autumn<br />
northward movement of harriers<br />
over Gebbies Pass, along the<br />
summit of the Port Hills and<br />
northwards along the city dunes<br />
and coastal wetlands,” Crossland<br />
said.<br />
Some harriers pause during<br />

migration to feed or gather at<br />
dusk in communal night roosts,<br />
where as many as 20 birds may<br />
settle for the night.<br />
“Only a few local roosts are<br />
known – at Travis Wetland, the<br />
Bromley oxidation ponds and at<br />
locations around Lake Ellesmere.<br />
“Protection measures are in<br />
place to ensure continued use<br />
of these night roosts, including<br />
predator control and provision<br />
of suitable vegetation,”<br />
Crossland said.<br />
“We would appreciate hearing<br />
from members of the public who<br />
may know of additional roosts on<br />
council park and reserve land so<br />
these sites can also be protected.”<br />

Glow festival an enchanted playground<br />

The<br />
SELLOUT<br />
Star, <strong>May</strong> crowd <strong>15</strong>, <strong>2025</strong> of 11,000<br />
packed Hororata Domain on<br />
Saturday for the Hororata Glow<br />
Festival.<br />
The festival featured 12 hot air<br />
balloons, the Marama Energy<br />
glow walk, live music, food trucks<br />
and free children’s entertainment,<br />
The Star, <strong>May</strong> <strong>15</strong>, <strong>2025</strong><br />
including The Wonky Donkey<br />
author and musician Craig Smith.<br />
The hot air balloons, which<br />
glowed in unison and were set to<br />
music, included Owlbert – an owlshaped<br />
hot air balloon from the<br />
United States.<br />
The festival was organised by<br />
the Hororata Community Trust<br />
in association with Ballooning<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Said event Manager Cindy<br />
Driscoll: “This festival is about so<br />
much more than entertainment.<br />
“It’s about building community<br />
pride, celebrating our rural way of<br />
life, and giving people something<br />
magical to be part of right here in<br />
the heart of Selwyn.”<br />
Driscoll said more than 130<br />
volunteers were involved in<br />
bringing the festival to life.<br />
“What many don’t see is the<br />
week-long effort behind the scenes.<br />
We host balloon crews from around<br />
New Zealand and the world. It takes<br />
a huge volunteer effort.”<br />
The festival is a key initiative of<br />
the community trust and raises<br />
funds for projects like rebuilding<br />
the historic Hororata Hall.<br />
The biennial event will return<br />
in 2027.<br />
