Even Riflemen sometimes need a contemplative gaze into the mirror!

Any of this ragwort not growing in tree lupin looked tired and old, like this one. But there were not many of them.

Caught by our cat, though seemingly not injured. Very small; practically sparrow-sized. I am not sure if it is a wild bird, or someone's escaped pet.

This observation is more about behavior than species.
This I'm pretty sure male swan was reaching well up into the Harakeke and giving the branches a good shake.
Then the pair with a young cygnet were eating the seeds off the water.
This is not the first time I have seen this.

Dense patches smothering native shrubs - seems to be increasing further into the reserve.
Currently appears to be the only wild location for this species in NZ...

It's back at this site. I could only find two plants from the road and I pulled them out. (Di Carter from the Christchurch City Council has also been spraying this area to try and remove this incipient weed.)

See Allan Herbarium CHR 666705, 705A, and B.
Lots of wild seedlings! there were two large adults in different places, one growing in amoungst another species of vine and appears to have possibly arrived with it by accident!? and the other a smaller adult about 20m away coming out from under an old estatablished chocolate vine on a fence, it definitely looks wild and probably is a progeny of the other adult. :o there are also about half a dozen smaller adults also flowering. the botanic gardens plant lady didn't know what it is and said they didn't plant it! adult pics attached.

The first time I've seen this bird around West Melton. Initially, it was perched on a fence and let me approach to within a few metres, although it was flicking it's tail in agitation. I suspect it's a female or juvenile tomtit.

On Senecio skirrhodon. This observation is for the aphids not the plant or the ants.
Note: Aphid specimens from this observation were sent to MPI for identification and confirmed as Aphis lugentis.
