On a recent visit to Auckland, we visited the Otorohanga Kiwi House. Not only are there kiwi at this park, they have many other native New Zealand birds there too.

The birds were very active yesterday at Zealandia with many busy feeding fledglings. This made for a great day of nature photography.

We drove over to Pukaha with plans of having a successful day photographing birds. Alas it was not to be. High above was a NZ Falcon / kārearea flying off with its usual kak kak call when it is off to hunt.

Yesterday at Pukaha National Wildlife Centre, I managed to tick another bird off my wish list. Before now I had never seen a orange-fronted parakeet/kākāriki karaka and it wasn’t from lack of effort.
After a month recuperating from a health issue, I am finally able to get back out and about with my camera. I decided that the red-crowned kakariki would be my target bird for the outing, so we headed to Nga Manu.

I try and keep Friday’s free for a day of photography. It is one of the benefits of being self-employed. This week’s plan was a visit to Pūkaha where I photographed the riflemen last year. I was hoping to find a nesting pair again this year, but that didn’t happen on this visit. What I did manage to photograph there for the first time, was the yellow crowned kākāriki.
