Sunday saw the first frost of the season on our back lawn but with it the promise of a gloriously sunny day. Having already slept in a couple of hours more than usual it was a quick breakfast and shower before heading off to make the most of the sunshine. We flitted from one spot […]

Today’s collection of images is a bit of a mash up. Basically they can all be found around the back end of the Auckland zoo. They have some walk in aviaries that let you get clear shots of the birds now which is an added bonus. The kea like to get a little too close
Jumping back to Easter weekend and our trip to the zoo. One exhibit that I always like to head to both first and last is the tiger enclosures. Usually I get good shots first thing in the morning but this time they were no where to be seen on my first pass, but on our
