That That That's All Folks

Wasn't sure what to expect here but as I was walking up I spotted the likely spot and once I got closer I realised that it was a well crafted cache. Very enjoyable in this lovely area
TFTC

Nice hide ..even the snails enjoy it...not sure about the angry birds...all clear today just a few happy sparrows around .tftc

Nicely constructed cache. The log is a bit worse for wear aa its difficult to roll small enough to fit in. Thanks for the cache Brennanz and C&D

Found thanks

Thanks for a clever little hide on a very wet day. I'm starting to get fed up of the sound of rain on the umbrella!TFTC.

Once we got to the GZ it was pretty obvious where the cache was. That doesn't make it any less impressive though. Nicely made. Thanks!

Clever, but we've seen similar ones in Auckland! Have always wondered if COs of caches like these go out in the middle of the night with their tools to construct them? Hm, anyway, thanks for the cool cache!

This was our first cache of the day - on our 2nd day of geocaching in Hamilton - we arrived here after a most enjoyable breakfast of Bacon & Eggs in town. It proved to be rather concerning though when Mr LF was confronted by a pair of large hunting dogs that didn't like the look of him one little bit.

Not too hard to find as the Angry Bird had become a little unhinged and tried to escape the nest. Signed the log and tucked him safely back in the nest. TFTC

Cool one!

Found this one very amusing

Stopped to find this cache as we wandered past this morning. Read the hint and spotted a likely candidate to check. Opened it up and were confronted by large numbers of angry ants - no wonder the Bird was Angry! We like these crafty, creative, and hidden in plain sight caches. Thanks!

Cool cache an a easy find. High5zoe was on to this pretty quick. Her bday today. tftc

Just a walk in the park, but a great cache and a favourite from me. Tftc

Its taken me MONTHS to finally stop at this park, and attempt to find the cache. As I was up a bit too early to go to the supermarket this morning, I decided to go pick up some of the local caches (its about time I started getting them here, rather than when just travelling). Parked in the side street and wondered down the hill, only to realise I had to wonder back up another part of the same hill. Luckily it being early everyone has their curtains closed

Nice quick find, cute.

Neat little hide, gets another Fav pt from our team, tfth Cats&Dragons

Our first cache of the morning. We took the short cut way which meant walking across wet grass. Quickly spotted cache. Fav point for the effort gone into it. Nice to find something different. Log signed b&p. Find number 4170.
Thanks for the cache Brennaz adopted by Cats&Dragons.

Yay found it! Clever little hide! Found with the Pegrim family.

This was awesome! What a cool place to bring your dog(s) if you have any. I love that the cache completely blends in. Also love that it's in theme. Located fairly easily, but totally natural where it is. Was able to extract & sign log in between the muggles hordes. Made sure to return cache to it's documented position to ensure it remains. Thanks for the cache!

On a trip to Auckland with Davidson Clan to take part in a Browns Island excursion. Found quickly and in good condition while collecting some puzzles in the area. Cheers Cats&Dragons

Very nice hide but why is that bird so angry?

Out and about in the school holidays with friends looking for more caches. Stopped in this park to have our lunch and a bit of a break and then headed to GZ. Found it quite easily as there is a similar one in Cambridge. The kids still thought it was cool. TFTC.

Nice cheeky hide. TFTC. Found with mod22h and keeleythecacher.

Back in town having knocked off the two Geo Art series of caches and found that I had time for a few Traditionals before dark.

Managed to park a little over 70M away (as the Tui flies). Scampered down and up and made the quick find. Nice workmanship.
TFTC

Taking the kids on a family history tour today. Visiting a street near by named after my grandparents. Always a bonus when there is a cache nearby. Enjoyed this find. TFTC

Meet up with my sister and her kids from Auckland to celebrate my daughters and the Nephews birthdays had a nice picnic lunch down by the river. After lunch we decided we better do a couple of nearby caches this was the second for the day once at GZ the seven of us started searching after a short while my Daughter came up with the find.

Cool Little hide it was our favorite for the Road Trip 15 thanks

I Love the Little Bird nice wee hide it was our favorite for the Road Trip 15 Thanks

Cool little hide.

No angry bird today. Well worth a favorite. Found while out on a day's caching on the bike. TFTC!!!!

No problems here in the dark, nice little area and a great cache. Cheers!

approached from the wrong angle and very nearly dnf'd it! very cool hide, tftc

Found again today with SarahLeeLacy. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks. I love angry birds very cool spot.

The Angry Bird (Waikato) was transferred from Brennaz to user Cats&Dragons

We have now moved out of the area so will be giving this cache up for adoption. I hope many other people will enjoy it in the future. Thanks, Brennaz.

Creative hiding! Very well done!

I have come looking for this one before but decided it was too busy. It was quieter today and I was successful. I lost my tweezers in the process

Such a fun one to find! Took my 4 friends with me. Definitely took 4 perspective to find! Tftc

.

Nice park, very popular with dog walkers this evening. Clever hide, walked past it twice!

Ingenious! Cool cache, tho tight squeeze. No birdie today. TFTC

Awesome find

Well done, a tricky one to find.

TFTC

11am - This looks like it must be a dog park as there were lots of 4 legged muggles here today. I think cache needs a little better camo now. SLTFTC

what a cool cache nice little walk got rained on but the kids thought it was fun. TFTC

Log replaced. Angry bird still living here!

A nice cache to find during this day. Didn't take that long thanks to the hint.
The park is really nice with all those dogs running around.
Counldn't see the angry bird.
TFTC
#109 and #71 in NZ.

Really well made cache in a lovely place. Thanks to the hint given in the description it was found quickly!
TFTC

Found the Angry bird but luckily it took off when we arrived. This is another awesome bit of kiwi ingenuity. Found with Matrix10101 she found it but was trying to work it out as I came along & we worked it out together. We had the geopup with us, he loved socialising in the park & also managed a swim as well, dog not me. TFTC

Found it, saw the angry bird too

Lots of dogs and owners out in the park. Great cammo. TFTC

Awesome camo, sack cloth is looking a bit worn out though, did not spot the angry bird

TFTC

Tftc

Have looked for this a few times, but never found it, accidentally stumbled across it today, so very happy, great hide tftc

Yeah my 50th find!!!
Found this one in no time nice hide.

Found with alpenmilch80 after finding another nearby cache. Overlooked the cache initially but then alpenmilch80 inspected closer and spotted the hide. Thanks!

Another nighttime cache with slieschke. Searching in the dark made the find not easy but we got there in the end. TFTC

A bit more caching out and about in Hamilton with KiwifruitsNZ before dinner. Quickly spotted this hide, cleverly crafted. TFTC

A day collecting some caches with Vamber in Hamilton in between organised events.

Having attended the last event of the day, thought it would be an opportunity to collect a few more caches before dinner - and most likely some night caching.

Another quick find in a beautiful park.

Nice park for a walk . Lot of dogs around

Spent a lovely day geocaching on our way to the Pi International Day in Hamilton. Easy find, cache in good condition. Fave from us... Great to see so many people out playing with their dogs. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Took the dog to come and help also.

Was not sure about what I would find here but what a great camoed cache. Definitely a fave for the originality and craftsmanship. Thanks very much Brennaz

A great find. Sat and had a bite of lunch in the middle of our 24 cache challenge - joined by a chocolate lab pup, but not its owners. A big favourite on a great day out Thanks

Took a break here and sat down. Liked the cache structure and camo. Doggled/barkled and post not used.
TFTC

Afrer a little while we found it. Great place to hid .

Very cool!

147 Well done. Found as much by accident as ability.

We love places like that and this kind of hides. Thanks and greetings from Germany

906, My GPS had a few metres away from the GZ, so was puzzled by this one for a wee while. Then on further inspection all was revealed. My boy really enjoyed this hide so will need to add this to my list of Favorites. TFTC

Spotted this one on approach, well at least I thought I did.....yes I did. Took a lot longer to roll the log back up. Appreciate the effort that has gone into this one.

TFTC

Log replaced an ants removed. Brennaz

we went wher we thought it would be but no. Following teh GPS is advisable. Quick find by the junior geocacher. Worth a Fav point. TFTC

I set out to find the nearest cache and I know I needed one for a dot day. This did take a lot longer than it should have!

Cache hide hole is harbouring an ants nest, and cache needs a new log.

Thanks for a great hide!

Our doggies had a nice swim. So of for this cache. We had an intensive search and then a hoerai when we found it. Great camo, great to put so much work in a cache. A favourite point from us, to make urban caches still challenging

great clever hide nice weather also for a walk here tftf

TFTC
Nice work. Might need some maintenance soon as getting a little rickety.

Love the work that went into creating the hide tftc

Very windy!! Cache was exposed but soon returned to its little hole!

Great cache--deserves a favourite point.

Decided to walk the woofer to this one in the lunch hour - got about 100m in and down came the rain! Sheltered with some muggles and their dog under the nearest tree for about 15mins! When the sun reappeared we managed to wade through the soggy grass to GZ where we spotted the sneaky hide. Fave point from us, TFTC!

This angry bird found that angry bird! Recorded a DNF last time I visited here so was determined this time I would find it. I don't know how I let this get me as another cache, a long time ago, was of a similar sort and got me also. Worth a favorite point now I have found it. TFTC

Not going to lie, second time here. Spent a good time at GZ, not sure what I was looking for but I kept missing the obvious. Think I may have even touched it. Anyway second time looking, and more determined and saw something different. Great cache and camo. Mr 4 loved it, worthy of many fav points!

Day 13/ 31

Couldn't find it, will send the husband and kids out for a better look

Fourth time lucky. Thanks for the tip andimcb. Great cache.

Great hide! ... popular park for the dogs ... :^)

Nifty little hide, well done! [8]

Out for a walk with the dog and made a good find here. Nicely hidden, tftc.

Found by torchlight and no muggles around, but a very talkative bird in the nearby tree - not sure if he was angry. Clever hide TFTC

Nice one, quickly spotted this cunning little cache while caching in the area with YuGeo4. TFTC!!!

11679... Nicely camo'ed cache, found with FMZ after we unpuzzled ourselves at a nearby puzzling puzzle. No Angry Birds were harmed during our visit. Many thanks for a cool cache.

Have been forcing myself into liking puzzle caches recently. As a result, I have bits of paper with solved puzzles everywhere. On yet another hunt to finish off the business... Picking up the odd traditional as well.

On the way to a puzzle hunt, so stopped by to have a go at this cache. Lots of dogs and walkers a out enjoying the afternoon sun. Found the hide and a very cool cache. TFTC.

On our second attempt YAY !!

A g8 cache, had us fooled at 1st

Nice hide! Great camo...TFTC

So well thought out and executed. A favourite for a micro- who would have thought! Now on to the multi while the rain holds off.
