Yesterday a fellow photographer took me to a secret location not far from home where he had found a flock of whiteheads. Very quick little birds that are very distinctive with the male having, you guessed it, a white head. So we arrived at this location ( I was blindfolded while I was driving so […]

Three days in a row but honestly these are just the cutest wee birds and it is very hard not to post more of their images. These ones are a bit more of a close up look at the Shore Plovers and I was pleasantly surprised at how much detail I had managed to capture.I

I know, it’s a funny looking shore plover, but the reality is that this is all we saw when we arrived and I didn’t want to leave without at least one image for the day. After taking this shot and getting within reaching distance of the car I saw a few dots in the sky. I just

The weather report promised another glorious day so I decided to try for a sunrise. We got up to a two degree frost and heavy fog! However I know from experience that when the Hutt Valley is shrouded in fog, Wellington City generally isn’t, so we headed into Wellington. Cutting it extremely fine time wise, the

Wellington put on a stunner of a day today, so the camera and I went out for a short walk in between doing a bunch of other stuff. We wandered along the waterfront which I expected to be great, but in fact it was a little bit boring. At least the end where we were.

Last August just before we headed off for a trip to Brisbane was the last time we saw the tui at our feeders. He has been gone over the Summer months as there has been an abundance of natural food about. He wasn’t the only one to leave us either, the waxeyes also disappeared from
