With more rain forecast, we headed out this morning to Zealandia to get a quick walk in and see if anything interesting was happening.

The occasional shaft of sunshine brought out the gorgeous colours of the Wellington Green Gecko - I just missed him sticking out his little blue tongue!

There are still 7 pāteke ducklings, going through the "ugly duckling" phase - still very cute though!
