The rescued Australasian Harrier about to land on someone, talons outstretched, wings on brake mode. She's a beauty. Blind in one eye she cannot be released. #birds #ornithology #birdsofbluesky #birdphotography #nature #hawk #swampharrier

This Australasian Swamp Harrier is a rescue after being hit by a car. Unfortunately its now blind in one eye so cannot be released back into the wild. I was lucky to spend some time with it. #birds #ornithology #harrier #swampharrier #hawk ##newzealand #birdphotography

Here's another portrait of the King Vulture. I was in a hide so he was quite close. Stunning colours. The feathers around his neck remind me of a Maori cloak. #costarica #birds #birdphotography #ornithology #kingvulture #travelphotography #travel

From Costa Rica, I loved the tropical flowers that grew everywhere. This one became a favourite. #flora #costarica #tropicalrose #flower

I'm rather enjoying my new computer with faster processing speeds!! Going through my Costa Rica images from 2018. What a difference the newer tech makes. The feathers remind me of a maori cloak. #costarica #kingvulture #birds #birdphotography #ornithology

Still going through my Costa Rican images from 2019. Every now and then I come across an image that I don't have to edit - like this perfect Palm Tanager in a lovely pose, with lovely even lighting in perfect focus! #birds #costarica #palmtanager #ornithology #naturephotography

While on a boat trip in #costarica I looked up and saw my very first #raccoon. Thought it was very cute seeing we don't get them in New Zealand. #photography #wildlifephotography #travel

Took this in USA in Georgia. Nearly walked into it. I'm not scared of spiders as long as there is a camera lens between myself and the #spider. #orbwebspider #naturephotography #photography My friend here is missing a leg. I think she needs a prosthetic made!

At Mt Cook yesterday I walked to the river at Tasman Glacier. This is one of the icebergs that have calved from the glacier recently. The glacier is receding at 400-800m per year. So sad. #climatechange #tasmanglacier #mtcook #photography #travel #thetravelframe #traveleverywhere #newzealand

While in Wanaka for a whistlestop one just had to do #thewanakatree or #thatwanakatree as nz photographers call it. I should have got up at sunrise but my bed was way too comfy. That doesn't make me the best photographer does it? #newzealand #photography #travel #thetravelframe #traveleverywhere
