Daniela is our first volunteer from Mexico and she is spending 13 weeks in the programme this Summer.  She may never go home, since she’s now met her “NZ Prince”!  haha!

This frog is in fact not a New Zealander, but actually an introduced Golden Bell Frog from Australia.  We now have a large population of these frogs breeding in the new pond created last Summer, and they do provide food for many native birds using the pond – like Kingfisher and Herons.
