The tuatara, the saddleback, the robin and more.
It is hard to walk around the Zealandia Ecosanctuary and not take a photo. It is not always the birds that grab my attention either…

Zealandia on a Friday
Usually we head to Zealandia on a Friday because there are less people about. Not today – there were groups of people everywhere! It’s great to see so many out enjoying the sunny weather in the valley. We went today with the goal of achieving some fantastic images and I believe I achieved my goal,

A walk around Zealandia Eco Sanctuary
Today we have a selection of images from Zealandia. This was the first time I had used the camera after the firmware upgrade and I was keen to see if there would be any improvement in the auto-focus. I am happy to day that I found using AFC much better with the birds than in

A trip to Kapiti Island
Ever since I moved to the Wellington Region, I have wanted to go to Kapiti Island. I am not sure why it has taken nearly 23 years to do it, but thanks to a Hutt Camera Club field trip, I finally got there. Of course now I wish I had gone earlier and often! Everywhere

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 🙂

February at Zealandia
We visited Zealandia again this morning and found a host of young birds everywhere we went. The first bunch we can across were at the feeder at the bottom of the beech track. There were three young bellbirds all lined up on a branch that was just impossible to photograph. Just my luck! However it

Back to Zealandia Again
I am still trying to solve my focusing issues in the bush, and now with the help of the Panasonic engineers I am getting some improvement. Today I managed to get more in focus images than out of focus ones, so that is a big plus from my point of view. I am now using

Tuatara and tieke
Sometimes, when we visit Zealandia the tuatara are nowhere to be found. They like to come out to soak up the sunshine when it is out, so today I wasn’t expecting to see many. The sun was out briefly but for the most part it was overcast while we were there. Yet to our surprise,
