This morning I introduced Zealandia to a friend who is new to bird photography and currently visiting Wellington. Unfortunately the weather was not great so we were dealing with low light situations all day. I wasn’t going to let that stop me from getting at least one good image for the day. Lately I have […]

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

Each time I head into the bush with my camera, I do so with the expectation of taking photographs of birds. I am not usually fussy about which bird so long as the image is clear and sharp. So I was a little disappointed yesterday when I spent two hours walking in the bush and
After a long winter where the photographic opportunities are squeezed into the few sunny days we have, spring is finally here. The last few weeks have been magic for bird photography and yesterday the best yet. We have two small kowhai trees out the front of our house. They are very close to the house

My membership had expired, so when it was suggested that we head to Zealandia this morning I figured it was a great opportunity to renew my membership. The benefits of being a member are awesome, I can go as often as I like and if I want to take anyone with me (who isn’t a

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

I know each year our front kowhai tree flowers late, and usually when most of the other trees in the area have finished flowering. This makes it very appealing to the tui even though it is a dwarf tree. So having my camera handy is a given at this time of the year. Not being

Friday’s are my day for doing the things I enjoy. So far today that has meant visiting the pool at 7.30am with friends, doing some lengths before soaking in the hot spa. Finding the motivation to get to the pool is often hard but I always enjoy it when I get there. I really must

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
