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’ve got the day off work today! Spent the first couple of hours of it chilling with a flock of kuaka (bar-tailed godwits). 🪶🇳🇿

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. 🪶🇳🇿

A tākapu (Australasian gannet) flying over my head this morning. I’m thinking “please don’t poop on me!!” (Wouldn’t be the first time…) 🪶🇳🇿

This morning at Muriwai. Probably not the most exciting picture I’ve ever taken but I like the shapes. 🪶🇳🇿

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. 🪶🇳🇿

I’ve had a productive few days with my camera! I’m particularly pleased with the godwit silhouette. 😁🪶🇳🇿

Haha, thanks! I’m planning to collect four different birds in this style and put them together like this… 😛😂

Kererū aropari (rock pigeons) aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I’m a fan. 🪶🇳🇿

A mallard duckling exploring our neighbourhood this afternoon. There were six bubs in this family on Sunday. Five yesterday. Four today. Always hard watching them dwindle down to one or two if we’re lucky. I wish people would keep their cats inside. 🪶🇳🇿

It’s been brought to my attention that it’s World Migratory Bird Day. I can think of no better excuse to share four of my best pictures of the undisputed king of migratory birds - the kuaka (bar-tailed godwit), which boasts the longest non-stop migration on the planet. Alaska-Aotearoa. 🪶🇳🇿
