   This is only the case in the sense that the worker ants in a nest respond to
   the presence of a queen and the pheromones she releases, by working normally
   and performing their duties. But the day-to-day duties of individuals is much
   more controlled by the pheromones and behaviour of the colony as a whole. An
   ant colony is a collective. The queens are usually just egg laying machines

   @redbeanie_photography As a lifelong wildlife advocate, I consider myself
   very fortunate to live in beautiful New Zealand, particularly next to a
   scientific nature reserve and also just a short boat ride to the beautiful
   Kapiti Island nature reserve. All the evidence indicates NZ’s native birds
   are on the decline to the tune of 25 million a year thanks to rats, stoats
   and possums. If this continues there’s a real possibility our native birds
   will no longer exist in the wild, and our forests will no longer be filled
   with beautiful native birdsong. I believe we all have guardianship over our
   collective backyard, and all need do everything we can to preserve our
   birdsong for generations to come. Take a look at the other pictures in this
   post to see who I have managed to take photos of within a 5km radius of home
   and what we stand to lose!
   Kiwicare (@kiwicare_nz) are strong supporters of Predator Free 2050 and they
   have launched a Keep The Bird Song Going Strong campaign.
   The campaign aims to help us all to tackle predators around our own backyards
   because when we do we’re helping to protect NZ’s backyard and to preserve our
   native birds. The campaign includes predator free packs that contain
   everything you need to keep your backyard predator free. These packs are
   being sold through Mitre 10 stores (@Mitre10NZ) and 100% of the profits are
   being donated to the Predator Free NZ Trust (@predatorfreenz)
   Predators are a 365 day a year problem for our native birds, but with
   Kiwicare’s range of effective products and solutions you can target predators
   at home every day.

   @davidnortonnz Without active management, our beautiful and unique native
   birds continue to decline across Aotearoa. Reversing this decline requires
   addressing three key threats – predation by exotic mammals, loss of habitat
   connectivity and loss of food resources. Today, some of the best places that
   I hear native bird song are in areas of extensive forest that are subject to
   intensive predator control.
   
   While it is critical that we properly manage these extensive natural areas,
   there are also tremendous opportunities to enhance native birds in the areas
   where most people live, work and play – our urban and farming areas. Through
   restoring native habitat and controlling invasive predators like rodents,
   hedgehogs, mustelids and feral cats, we can all contribute to reversing the
   decline in our native birds.
   
   I have posted a lot about habitat restoration, but this post is in support of
   a campaign by Kiwicare (@kiwicare_nz) to help tackle predators in our own
   backyards. Kiwicare are strong supporters of Predator Free 2050
   (@predatorfreenz) and have launched a “Keep The Bird Song Going Strong”
   campaign. This campaign aims to help us tackle predators in our own backyards
   because if we all do this, we’re helping to sustain and enhance our native
   birds across all of Aotearoa.
   
   As part of this campaign, Kiwcare have produced predator free packs (one of
   which they have given me for this post) that contain everything you need to
   keep your backyard free of rodents (as shown in the images in this post). The
   packs are available for $49.95 from Mitre 10 stores (@Mitre10NZ) and 100% of
   the profits are being donated the Predator Free NZ Trust.
   
   I am fortunate that I live in an area where I am listening to korimako and
   tui calling as I write this post (see short video at end). But even here on
   the shores of Lake Hāwea with an active local trapping programme, predators
   are still constraining our native birds, so if everyone was doing predator
   control in their backyards the chances for our native birds would be that
   much better.

   @redbeanie_photography As a lifelong wildlife advocate, I consider myself
   very fortunate to live in beautiful New Zealand, particularly next to a
   scientific nature reserve and also just a short boat ride to the beautiful
   Kapiti Island nature reserve. All the evidence indicates NZ’s native birds
   are on the decline to the tune of 25 million a year thanks to rats, stoats
   and possums. If this continues there’s a real possibility our native birds
   will no longer exist in the wild, and our forests will no longer be filled
   with beautiful native birdsong. I believe we all have guardianship over our
   collective backyard, and all need do everything we can to preserve our
   birdsong for generations to come. Take a look at the other pictures in this
   post to see who I have managed to take photos of within a 5km radius of home
   and what we stand to lose!
   Kiwicare (@kiwicare_nz) are strong supporters of Predator Free 2050 and they
   have launched a Keep The Bird Song Going Strong campaign.
   The campaign aims to help us all to tackle predators around our own backyards
   because when we do we’re helping to protect NZ’s backyard and to preserve our
   native birds. The campaign includes predator free packs that contain
   everything you need to keep your backyard predator free. These packs are
   being sold through Mitre 10 stores (@Mitre10NZ) and 100% of the profits are
   being donated to the Predator Free NZ Trust (@predatorfreenz)
   Predators are a 365 day a year problem for our native birds, but with
   Kiwicare’s range of effective products and solutions you can target predators
   at home every day.

   @davidnortonnz Without active management, our beautiful and unique native
   birds continue to decline across Aotearoa. Reversing this decline requires
   addressing three key threats – predation by exotic mammals, loss of habitat
   connectivity and loss of food resources. Today, some of the best places that
   I hear native bird song are in areas of extensive forest that are subject to
   intensive predator control.
   
   While it is critical that we properly manage these extensive natural areas,
   there are also tremendous opportunities to enhance native birds in the areas
   where most people live, work and play – our urban and farming areas. Through
   restoring native habitat and controlling invasive predators like rodents,
   hedgehogs, mustelids and feral cats, we can all contribute to reversing the
   decline in our native birds.
   
   I have posted a lot about habitat restoration, but this post is in support of
   a campaign by Kiwicare (@kiwicare_nz) to help tackle predators in our own
   backyards. Kiwicare are strong supporters of Predator Free 2050
   (@predatorfreenz) and have launched a “Keep The Bird Song Going Strong”
   campaign. This campaign aims to help us tackle predators in our own backyards
   because if we all do this, we’re helping to sustain and enhance our native
   birds across all of Aotearoa.
   
   As part of this campaign, Kiwcare have produced predator free packs (one of
   which they have given me for this post) that contain everything you need to
   keep your backyard free of rodents (as shown in the images in this post). The
   packs are available for $49.95 from Mitre 10 stores (@Mitre10NZ) and 100% of
   the profits are being donated the Predator Free NZ Trust.
   
   I am fortunate that I live in an area where I am listening to korimako and
   tui calling as I write this post (see short video at end). But even here on
   the shores of Lake Hāwea with an active local trapping programme, predators
   are still constraining our native birds, so if everyone was doing predator
   control in their backyards the chances for our native birds would be that
   much better.
