Grey Warbler
Riroriro
Gerygone igata
We see most grey warblers around our house, as on Ulva they tend to live high up in the canopy, and so we hear them more often than we see them. But in the village the trees are much lower, and their trilling song very much part of our life. They are quite territorial, and will investigate me playing Warbler “music”‘ They eat mainly insects

Stewart Island Electricity is generated using diesel fuel
Sails Ashore is Solar Powered
But we now produce 100 % of our electrical needs, and are completely "Off Grid", Excess electricity is used to heat our domestic hot water and central heating system and this has cut our non renewable heating fuel usage to around 20% of pre solar.. All cooking is electric, no more LPG. See More .......
Kowhai Lane is also Solar powered,
Kowhai Lane is "Grid Tied" Excess production is used to heat water. Production beyond the house requirements is exported, thus cutting diesel use in the wider grid. At night Kowhai Lane Lodge receives power from the grid.
Like Sails Ashore, all cooking is electric,,,,, No LPG
