Welcome to Digitalpix Nature Photography
My name is Toya Heatley, and I’m passionate about New Zealand nature photography, especially birds.
Photography is my hobby, my passion or perhaps my obsession. Spending time in nature, is one of my favourite pass times. Writing about and sharing my images is also enjoyable to me. This site hosts my photo blog, along with free tutorials and loads of images.
Blogging about wherever my camera takes me, and the birds and wildlife I photograph along the way, has shown me just how much I have progressed as a photographer. I like to think that not only is this helping me to grow as a photographer but in some ways it may help others too.
Currently I also write a regular column on New Zealand Nature Photography in CameraTalk, the Photographic Society of New Zealand‘s bi-monthly ezine. Each issue focusing on a different aspect of nature photography and how it relates to my images and experiences.
Feedback and comments are welcome via the contact form here.

Images from our visit to Staglands
This post is a continuation of our visit to Staglands Wildlife Reserve & Cafe. I felt that the kea deserved a post of their own, however these image also deserve to be seen.
A visit to the kea
We had a few hours spare the other day, so headed out to visit the kea at Staglands Wildlife Reserve & Cafe. Of all the animals and birds they have at Staglands, the kea are my favourite.
