About LinkBacksEyeballed a few birds yesterday - raining so pics not great
Saw a lot of young pheasants but most didn’t stick around -
Saw a lot of Quail - looks like a great breeding season - this guy was up on the yards singing - family and about twenty chicks stayed on the ground
Will be a lot of Kingfisher noise coming out of here in a week or two - he stayed up in a tree screeching at me

Haven't been following this thread. but I'll thrown one at it.
I took the dog for a walk today on Mt Vicotria (Devonport - Auckland)....just at sunset, and came accross a quiet spot with a tree, rather dark corner....
Froze instantly when I saw an owl... I've lived 12 years in NZ and always thought there were no owls present in this country...
Got my phone out but it was too dark....
Figure that, a owl in Auckland out of all the places ive been around the country!
Anyone seen owls around here ?

One thing about the destructive little buggers is they like to come in close for photos
