Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, Of cabbages and kings, And why the sea is boiling hot, And whether pigs have wings. In other words, a mix of stuff!
Saving hawks, falcons, owls – and chooks
Recently I met John and Jenni Fraser, a couple from Gleniti, just outside Timaru. John’s a former motorcycle racer, a leather dyer and gardener, now retired. John sports an impressive beard. Jenni got involved in a cause, and today it is the dominating factor in their lives. They are raptor rescuers. When I met them they had three owls, two hawks and five chooks all in various stages of recovery from injury or simply being too young to survive.
Jenni shows me images of birds they have rescued. They are magnificent.
Yes, there…
