Santa paid an unconventional call

Santa paid an unconventional call on Tawharanui Regional Park recently, in a sleigh pulled not by reindeer, but by a pair of giant pukeko. The jolly man in red and his avian cohorts were on hand to help TOSSI – the Tawharanui Open Sanctuary Society – and its volunteers celebrate a successful year of conservation activity with an al fresco Christmas lunch at the park’s woolshed.
