The red berries on the Nikau palm trees surrounding our property have turned bright red, a sign that summer is nearly over. The tree rats and possums eat the berries from the tree closest to the house and we get the white/grey nibbled pips dropped all over the deck. It is like walking on marbles out there. At night time we hear them pinging off the wood, like a metronome: Ping, Ping, Ping.
Noodle - looking surprised/alarmed, which is her normal look these days.

I enlarged the picture and noticed a great insect-like, head with bloodied open mouths!
OOO. Whereabouts did you see it?
Hi Mandy,
Haven't signed on to your blog for a little while (been busy as....) but happy you're doing the roof (next post above). A leaking roof is THE most depressing thing.
Mr Greenfingers (OK, I'm getting better the longer I'm in Taranaki) syas the palm tree are is not a nikau but actually a bungalow palm. There are a few nikau palms around Peregrine, one between #11 and #13. Just thought I should tell you.
Cheers..........R&P
