    Thanks mate. I was very lucky to see that fella out in the middle of the day, must've been 1.30. That pic was in the Kaimanawas.

    During wet weather - I often wonder how the birds survive - a couple of weeks back it was raining heavily and I spotted these two sitting under a walkway beside a cattle loading ramp - clever birds staying out of the rain - there were eight tiny chicks under Mum and Dad - I opened the car door for a better shot and missed the best chick pictures as they moved off - but they were back an hour later when I went past - clever birds!

    Have had them come see what's going on whilst hunting, follow you for 50m or so then bugger off to where they came from. Bloody spooky when they fly past silently

    Bumped into one (Morepork) in broad daylight earlier in April this year down in Fiordland. On the Lake Marion track.
