A storm petrel is dwarfed by an albatross flying past.Photograph taken from Albatross Encounter- Kaikoura on 16 April 2011.

Kahi

Magical having a kahi only half an hour from my home in Christchurch- such a distinctive call. This critically endangered bird is very much for me an icon of the wild spaces on the rivers of Canterbury.

Pectoral sandpiper

A rare visitor to NZ from the North American -Arctic region- sighted at Lake Ellesmere on Christmas day

Spotted shag at rest

Falcons- masters of the air

These birds are so fearless- that is also why they are so rare- sighting a falcon for me in Canterbury is memorable.

Starling's plumage

Love the striking colouration of the white flecks on the starling's breast . Tricky birds to photograph- restless and cautious !
