Just a few days after returning home from Auckland, we had to return. Again I packed my camera gear because I was keen to visit the Butterfly House at Butterfly Creek.

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 city where I live has streets lined with kowhai trees. In springtime when the kowhai trees are flowering, there is an abundance of natural food for tui.

The robins were the highlight of our visit to Zealandia yesterday. We were lucky to be in the right place at the right time when staff were doing a welfare check on a female robin.

After a night of thunder and rain, Sunday morning saw the sunshine return and promised to be a day worth spending in nature.

One of my favourite New Zealand birds is the tui. We live in the Wellington Region and are blessed with large numbers of these magnificent birds.
In winter the Silvereyes tend to flock together rather than go their separate ways to breed, however the pairs are often still together and make for some amazingly cute images.

I went exploring a local track that I hadn’t been to before and found a lots of pīwakawaka.
While the sun was shining when I left home, arriving at Zealandia it was not. Dull drab light is never fun for bird photography, especially in the bush.

When the Silvereyes have finished nesting and the weather starts to cool, they flock together to hunt for food. The month of May is when we start to see their numbers increase in our garden.
