lots of tupa (scallops) and papatai (turret shells) today! Also stumbled upon a stunning tākai (ostrich foot shell) half buried in the sand. And saw the carapace of a pāpaka (paddle crab) x #aucklandbeach #seashells #shelling

Henry came for a bush walk! 🐱 Don’t worry, he’s a seasoned pro catventurer and has been out exploring the bush with us many times before. He doesn’t prey on the wildlife either, as you’ll see with our sweet piwikawika fantail friend following us around ✨

Saw some snapper, some pointy-nosed little guys, three eagle rays and a bajillion blue maomao 🩵

My favourite way to get my mind from certified yapper to zen ✨🤍🌊 #snorkelling #nzbeach #mermaidlife
