Apple Music have informed me that I’m in the top 500 listeners of M¥SS KETA this year. All I can say is the rest of you are really missing out! Start with her debut album UNA VITA IN CAPSLOCK - a masterpiece of Italian rap and electronica. And no, you don’t need to speak Italian to enjoy it.

Every 1st December I bundle up my 18 favourite pictures I’ve taken since January into my Instagram highlights. It’s so satisfying to watch them all through and see the journey I’ve been on since 2020. Here’s this year’s selection. Head to my instagram for the full 6-year experience! 🪶🇳🇿

Popped into the zoo at lunchtime today. Met this cotton-top tamarin who appeared dissatisfied with the prison food.

Last week was one of making big life changing decisions that will set the tone for the next stage of my life. I spent some time reflecting on that at Wenderholm Regional Park this morning. 🪶🇳🇿

I don’t generally chase rare species but if one lands right next to me, what’s a guy to do? A tara-iti (New Zealand fairy tern) at Omaha this morning. There are less than 40 individuals and only 9 breeding pairs left in the world. 🪶🇳🇿

Playing with the reflection of the sunrise dancing around on the water at Omaha Spit this morning. Thanks to this tūturiwhatu (New Zealand dotterel) for standing still for a few seconds! They were giving me the runaround a bit darting here and there messing with the paparazzi… 🪶🇳🇿

I had never printed and framed any of my bird photos for the wall at home until now, because I made a deal with myself that I wouldn’t do it until I could do it with an image that had been an NZ Geographic PoTY finalist. I saw that deal through to its conclusion today. 🪶🇳🇿

I don’t have to go far for my bird photography fix at this time of year. There’s a stormwater catchment three minutes’ walk from my front door, and when the harakeke that surrounds it bursts into flower the tūī swarm all over it. 🪶🇳🇿

Last night was the awards ceremony for NZ Geographic Photographer of the Year, at which I was a finalist. I didn’t win or place but honestly, my victory was just being there. Photo comps get a bad rap, but I find them useful. I decided to take this opportunity to write about why on my website. 🪶🇳🇿
