Then a wee bush Robin decided to make itself at home.

One day I must go see them saddlebacks. I lived in place called kaitieke...kai= food tieke= saddleback. Were never sure if was food for them or they were food lol.
Went a bike ride from Park Island around top end of Ahuriri Lagoon onto express way. What a blast. Saw a spoonie feeding. The Godwits are back apparently. Must go and see them .They travel for 9/12 days non stop and lose half their body weight on the journey. An important feeding ground for them.That is why we need to protect our wetlands. China has destroyed a huge wetland in the pacific to make a man made airport. They say it has decimated half the migrating bird population. Sad.

Tui. Taken with mobile at Zealandia.
Attempting to photograph a Tui feeding in our Rata at home. Kept moving around the tree whenever I had a shot lined up and flew off as I took the last photo. Assuming I’d missed him I gave up in frustration but editing out the photos today, the last one was not such a miss after all!!

That's a really good shot....good timing.
Was out looking at a new area and this appeared not far from the ute. I'm told that it is a female stitchbird (hihi). Can anyone confirm this as I'm no authority, I'm also told that they are relatively rare.Attachment 270196
