The shore plover is in a peril- ous position with fewer than 200 left in the wild and a history of conservation efforts being hampered by rat infestations.

Trolls (G) Directed by Mike Mitchell & Walt Dorn Starring Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, James Corden 92 mins ★★★

I’m a Grinch when it comes to spontaneous song-and-dance sequences in modern animated family films. Movies like Despicable Me will throw in a Bee Gees’ number without committing to being a musical to gain jives from its audience. It’s cheap, but it makes me thankful when a film like DreamWorks’ Trolls gets it right. These trolls sing and dance as much as we breathe and eat – it’s just in their nature. So when they unapologetically bust out a mash- up of Junior Senior’s Move Your Feet and Justice’s D.A.N.C.E.,it feels natural.

These included recently elected or re- elected mayors and deputy mayors of Masterton, Carterton and South Wairarapa. It was a pleasant reunion. A lot can be achieved through good personal relationships over a cup of tea that might otherwise be difficult.

A census has identified 30 pairs of kokako currently living in the Pukaha reserve. Kokako doing well in the Pukaha wild

PIERS FULLER

Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre has completed a comprehensive survey of the kokako living in the reserve and the results have been impressive. The intensive kokako census completed in October 2016 has identified 30 pairs of kokako currently living in the reserve with a conservative estimate of 9 other juvenile birds sighted during the survey. North Island Kokako from the Pureroa Forest Park were first released in to the Pukaha forest in 2003 with a further two birds from Kaharoa Forest in 2010. Kokako from a breeding programme run at Pukaha were also released in 2004 and 2006. Since the releases into the reserve there have been a number of walkthrough surveys undertaken, the last of which in May 2014 identified 29 individual birds. The most recent census was done over four weeks during September and October and took 49 person days to complete. ‘‘This was a really comprehensive count and the final tally surprised even our experienced con- DO YOU NEED A MARQUIS OF NORMANBY HOTEL tractors.

STAFF REPORTER

Two Wellington road cyclists are taking on an epic solo challenge this week when they try to ’’Ever- est’’ Admiral Hill in Wairarapa. Ian Huckstepp and Victor Charles aim to complete 26 con- secutive ascents of Gladstone’s Admiral Hill – the cumulative vertical ascent being the equivalent height of Mt Everest (8848 metres or 29,029ft above sea level) in Nepal. The challenge is part of a glo- bal phenomenon called ‘‘Everesting’’ in which people choose to ride a single hill with 8848 metres being the total elev- ation gain. Huckstepp, who has been road cycling for the past seven years and has completed numerous Lake Taupo Cycle Challenges, said he’d never aimed this high before. ‘‘I originally had the idea to attempt Everesting about 12 months ago, and once committed, have been training ever since,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s a solo challenge and hear- say has it that apparently half of first timers actually fail in their attempt, including better cyclists than me. ‘‘It’s the ultimate ‘limit finder’ … will I break mentally or physically at some point?
