Photo taken up at the Makara cemetery, it could be said the nearest house is a good 500 meters away?

Perhaps this was a feral cat, can anyone tell the difference... Perhaps Gareth Morgan can

Cat amongst the rabbits

The rabbits are obviously aware of the cat but were not to concerned?
Perhaps a local domestic pet farmland cat out for an evening stroll?

Yes it's interesting that, on several occasions I've seen fox very near rabbits with no panic at all.

It was printed in the Ashburton Guardian nearly 20 years ago when Ashburtons wild cat problem was at its peak that any cat caught without a collar would be deamed as feral and be disposed.

I had some technical problems, my drivers side car window wouldn't work for awhile.... A photograpghic handicap problem

I took the car to an auto electrician who resolved the problem.
However the car window now works again. This cost me a photo of a deer on the side of the road because of this.

Just a mention....
My previous problems with the window is out lined fully in the outdoor car section link on this forum, thanks for the forum menbers help -

The joys of photographing through glass... photo degregration.



I took the above photo of this hawk through the car window, again showing photo degregration. I think by looking at it, it was hit by a car, so was a bit crook? However it hobbled away, it may have had a broken wing?


I took this photo the other day through my cars open window.

As per the photo's previously posted of the hawk/s above it certainly makes photographing a lot easier when the window is down.

Bet those hawk eyes could tell some storys.

Spring and summer time has gone.....

Some are last years efforts again for those that like deer photos

Photographed this chap who kindly posed for me while I was out and about....

Sometimes I get the titles mixed up.

These two photos are obviously of the same deer basically taken in the same area, but the titles are different.

I created a seperate thread called Roadside wildlife. Here is a link to that thread - https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....ildlife-90561/

Refer to the...... Red stag chap above



Went back and photographed this..... ''Fine gentleman red stag in hard antler about late March this year.''

I've also seen Ferrets dragging road kill off the road. Plenty of Ferrets on the western end of Akatarawa Road

McKenzie country is the ferret capital of NZ, after the small kingdom of the beehive

Spring time......Deer time



The deer are obviously out and about





These two photos are of the same obliging stag...... perhaps he likes his photo taken?
