You’re right, sorry about that. Thanks for helping

Kākā recovery in Wellington, incredible story I’ve just finished for @NZGeographic goes much deeper than conservation of the birds, a reconnecting of knowledge and what’s to come. Exciting. nzgeo.com/stories/forty-… @WgtnCC @docgovtnz @Forest_and_Bird @andrewlittle_nz

Fangs! Leg hairs! Venom profiles! Writer ‪@michelleduff.bsky.social‬ and photographer @robsuisted.bsky.social take a closer look at the noble false widow, the exotic spider that’s quietly set up home in New Zealand.

Rise of the noble false widow

Lots of spiders are very good at one or two things. Stalking, maybe. Setting traps. Biting. But Steatoda nobilis, the invasive spider now spreading in New Zealand, has an arsenal of tactics—including ...

Latest story I shot for @NZGeographic , bit of a pig hunting adventure with writer @naomiarnold last month. Wild pigs are eating our rare native frogs; not ideal. nzgeo.com/stories/one-pi…

My 8yo just found out he paid 7c tax to IRD last month from his savings. “Yay, now I can swear Dad!” “How come son?” “Well mum said I could only swear once I started paying tax!” Actual. LOL, can’t fault the logic

Yes, might have to make that 9th birthday and work on muscle mass this year lol

Good thinking. Given all the marlin action off Kapiti maybe he needs a 50W !

Thanks matey, good suggestions. He’s got quite a bit of Lego bits not into it and fishing well he just wants to use dads and not his lol!

Who has the best idea for a birthday present for my 8yo son!?? Struggling again

Sometimes people try to tell the truth accidentally. Why was Andrew Bayly given days to tell his family? Have a listen at this odd unprepared answer: "I've never had an affai.......um, anything like this happen before".

Rob Suisted, Pro-Photographer, NZ @robsuisted.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

The word “affair” got halfway out of Bayly’s mouth in a near possible Freudian slip on tonight’s TV. Makes one wonder what he had to tell his family over the weekend?

Looked like MP Andrew Bayly nearly made a Freudian slip with the word “affair” getting part way out of his mouth during the TV standup?

That’s the first ever marlin and first ever mahi-mahi caught in the area, btw

Rob Suisted, Pro-Photographer, NZ @robsuisted.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

5 marlin have now been caught off Waikanae/Kapiti in the last week. And today a Mahi-mahi fish was caught near Kapiti island. Changes to the Wellington area marine environment in my lifetime are extreme (and concerning)

Fast chaser boats opened up the rorquals to hunting & hence a whole new whale mass in the southern ocean, pressure cookers to drive oil from bone, tax changes to stop wastage (which created factory ship dev to avoid tax). Many factors saved the sperm whale (at expense of others).

Whaling changed massively because of product demand (like baleen vs plastic, lighting vs lubricants) & the big developmental steps in whaling technology. This construct was based on a simplistic wrong snapshot deployed to wrong times & was not taken seriously if you understood the long history

The whole story initially & this is based on lack of knowledge. Whaling changed massively because of products needed (like baleen vs plastic, lighting vs lubricants) & the big developmental steps in whaling technology. This is all based on a simplistic wrong snapshot deployed to wrong times

Of course it was never true. It didn’t light the Industrial Age, it lubricated it. Old machinists still regard it as the best machining oil. Btw, clock lubricants were more specifically taken from pilot whale jaw fat, unique bc of its close density to sea water for sound propgtn to ears for sonar

Was wondering today how you’re getting on with the wait? I showed my boy the last photo and his eyes did get wet

Then I’ll show you a rare behind the scenes….found the background to suit him, but couldn’t find a screen reflective enough so modified the TV, threw in the angle poise lamp, and blacked out the window. It’s done like this to suit his work and character, a quiet online hunter of ratbags

Tane Mahuta put them in all the most picturesque places so humans wouldn’t linger too long and take those places for granted. I’m down with that

Subscribing to NZ Geo wasn't on my radar until their recent appeal to find new subscribers or become nonviable, but I received my first issue and if this is the standard then I am *in*. Brilliant stuff. Mosses! Birds! Unpleasant but important greenwashing facts! @nzgeo.bsky.social you rock 😍

A copy of New Zealand Geographic magazine open on a picnic bench in a campsite, where I took it on holiday just before Christmas.

Awesome, thanks. And you’re looking at the portrait I shot of Smuts Clyde. That was fun to carefully craft for @nzgeo.bsky.social

Yip. When I’m doing low carb high fat eating I get a hangover next day if I have carbs like pasta for dinner bc body suddenly needs fluid to become inflamed again. Very common. Also joint and recovery pain return after hard exercising.

Anyone that thinks cycleways are Wellington’s problem should stop inhaling the propaganda. This is fu*ked and feels like a vendetta.

REALLY BOSS?!! Incredible how hard-wired my #corgi pup is to work stock on the slightest suggestion, & how much self control the pup has despite it. Most people don’t realise they’re a cattle breed, she has the fully installed 🐄 module in that 🧠 .
