In the morning we went a little north again to collect some lovely tiles from Estuary Arts. This whole area is full of artists workshops and little galleries, with some good work going on. Milnford Quay is just across from them, and we revisited to see the view in the new sunlight.
This young kokeno was suckling mightily just below the wharf. Mum, quite rightly, believed she was safe tucked away on these rocks, and let us take these photos. You could hear the noise as the pup drank.
The other excitement on the Quay was Pip shutting her finger in the Puff's door! We rushed back to Takaka where the excellent medical centre cleaned her up and used lots of butterfly plasters to hold her together. Nothing seems to be broken, which is good news. It took nearly as long to get all the blood off Puff.
