Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Found a hedgehog snuffling around the bushes at work during lunchtime. Very weird as I could have sworn they’re nocturnal.

Hate to say it, but they are considered pests here and should be trapped and humanely killed :(

Damn, just read the Forest & Bird article about them. They really are predatory.

Well this one was in the middle of a carpark on Great South Road so it probably has a low life expectancy.

I've looked this up before, and there are situations where it's normal for them to be out in the daytime and not a cause for concern if they appear otherwise healthy. But largely they are nocturnal.
