President’s Column – September 2025

I have written this report earlier than usual as we have about a 1/2 of the committee away through September, so I don’t have much to update you on.

It has been good to see a range of planned and pop-up field trips being run by the society and seeing members take part in them. I enjoyed hosting the Napenape trip, even with the early start. We had a good morning at Napenape, followed up in a couple of locations in Cheviot and finally at Glenafric on the way home.

Thanks to everyone who has let us know about the use of their photos from our previous exhibitions for the World Press Photography Exhibition in Wellington. I think it is going to be a good exhibition and it is great to be able to highlight the Photography we do as a society.

Recently Simon Runting took Andrea and me out to Muriwai to photograph the Gannets as they begin to return to New Zealand to nest. They are such a majestic bird to see flying and doing their courtship routines. See the photo of a bird greeting its partner after returning from the sea. The other photo was taken at Napenape.
