Colony of Cockatoos.
Many visitors up the Turakina River are astonished to see flocks of sulphurcrested cockatoos in the bush. The birds have been there for many years. It appears that a pair escaped from the Campion Okirae station and found a home in the bush. They nested high in the kahikatea trees, safe from vermin, and today there is quite a colony of them. Honour for Photographer. Mr Neville R. Lewers, of Westport, and formerly of Christchurch, has received advice from the French Photographic and Cinematographic Society that his picture, entitled “Challenge, has been hung in the thirty-third International Salon of Photographic Art. This picture was also hung in the London International Salon, Colonial and Overseas Exhibition (London), and International Salon (Hungary).
