It’s Friday again and as usual, the day is devoted to the camera and getting out into Nature. Our destination this week was Ngā Manu Nature Reserve in Waikanae.
On our last visit to Staglands Wildlife Reserve the new kea enclosure was almost finished and we could see how great it was going to be for the birds. So on our next free day we headed back to Staglands to check it out. The enclosure is so much bigger than it was, yet it …
Yesterday, along with a couple of photog friends, I headed to Staglands wildlife Reserve. We enjoy going during the week because there is less people there and more opportunities to get some great photographs of the birds and animals there. This trip our focus was mainly on the birds, trying different techniques and settings on …
We have had some brilliant days this last week and yesterday was no exception. Too good not to take the camera and go out enjoy the day. This time a fellow photog and myself ended up at Nga Manu Nature Reserve in Waikanae. We spent a couple of hours there enjoying ourselves, taking our time …
If this morning is a taste of the summer to come then I am really looking forward to it. There was an icy start, so much so that my car told me of icy road conditions as I drove to the pool. But it soon warmed up into a warm sunny day. A perfect day …
Yesterday a fellow photographer and I went for a trip out to Staglands. Being a Friday it was virtually empty of people and a very relaxing space to have lunch and of course make a few images. Staglands is a place where it doesn’t matter how often you go there, you can always come away …
Staglands Wildlife Reserve is about 20 kilometres from where I live, so when I don’t feel like going to far and still want to get out with the camera it is a good place to go. I have a yearly pass so very cost effective too. I am unable to walk around the entire park …
My brilliant husband came up with an idea of somewhere to take the camera that didn’t involve a lot of walking. The kea aviary at Staglands. We didn’t bother walking around the entire park as it is more than I can cope with right now, so I concentrated solely on the keas. They are such …
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 …
