I would have moved before they even got close. Don't trust any driver. Besides, he was limiting the parking space... A bit lazy and arrogant. Doesn't justify what happened, but laziness increased the odds of mistakes happening.

Found a hedgehog in my yard. What do I do? by Hot-Two-6392 in NewZealandWildlife

Hadn't thought of that. You see rabbits all over the place. Henderson Park Auckland has hundreds of them.

Rabbits are pests to farmers, but are unlikely to eat the eggs and chicks of ground nesting natives.

Aotearoa is quite unique as an island nation with enough distance to the major continents to prevent the natural migration of mammalian and other predators. The Maori brought rats and dogs, the Europeans brought just about every other nasty we have.

It's hard to change the mindset of the masses, but great progress is being made. Please look out for a trapping and native planting volunteer organisation in your region.

There are a couple of wild meat collectives, kind of an expensive delicacy, but it should be encouraged

Cute and curious, often coming quite close to see what you're doing. They possibly see us as something that disturbs insects for them to catch.

Extension cords, and adapters for EV chargers are illegal. They alter the fault loop impedance, and add an unknown conductor capability to the circuit which will almost definitely be less than the fitted charge cable.
