That's some list Anthony, people introduced animals to other areas years ago and now we are seeing the affects in New Zealand and here in the UK.

Marit, those photos are extraordinary.  They look 3-D.  Are you using some special effect?

You will notice the Kiwis have re-invented the large white butterfly, calling it the "great white". A little bit of research would have gone a long way here, methinks.

Actually, I was born in Huddersfield, so not sure what I am. I don't think we will stay in New Zealand for ever. Another five or six years and who knows where then? Certainly not somewhere cold!
