Bird Photography at Bushy Park
Following on from my last post, here are some more images from Bushy Park in Whanganui, where I spent the weekend with a bunch of enthusiastic photographers. Enjoy!
Hihi
Hihi feeding time
This weekend past I ran a bird photography workshop on behalf of the PSNZ Workshop Series. The photo shoot associated with the workshop was held at Bushy Park in Whanganui. This is a small piece of paradise where the birds are protected by a predator proof fence and where hihi and tieke are easy to …
More from Tiritiri
I came home with so many images to process from this trip that it is taking me some time to get through them all. I am super pleased with these images of the hihi and bellbirds, and of course the saddleback. Enjoy 🙂
Tiritiri Matangi Island
Late last year I booked a trip to Tiritiri Matangi Island for this February. It has been many years since I visited the island and I had never taken the Lumix G9 there at all. So I was keen to see how it performed in difficult light and with fast moving birds at the same …
Hihi at Zealandia
This post is all about the images and how I took them when trying to keep up with fast moving birds and the settings I used for each one. All of the images were shot with my Lumix G9 and the Leica 100-400 lens. This lens is my most used and is perfect for photographing …
More from Zealandia

Third week in a row…
We made it back to Zealandia again today, that’s three weeks in a row that I have visited there. It’s been a while since I was such a regular visitor there. They were very busy this morning with two cruise ships in town and a very large number of people arriving in buses to experience …
Back for another try…
The plan was to get up early and photograph birds at a wetland while the water was still and quiet, alas we slept in too late for that. So we headed off to Zealandia again so I could have another go trying to get the camera to focus correctly in the bush. To date this …
Pushing Limits
Today I was helping a friend keep busy as she desperately needed a distraction. So we headed off to Zealandia for the morning. It was a dull windy day, a relief from the heat we have been experiencing recently. It was not exactly the best day to be taking our cameras and big lenses into …
Return to Bushy Park
Back in September I wrote about a very short visit that I had to Bushy Park while attending the PSNZ Central Regional Convention. I said at the time I was going back and I did! My husband and I have just returned home after spending two nights at the Bushy Park Homestead and two days …
