Kārearea in Abel Tasman National Park a week or so ago. These had nested close to the sea - very nice to see them there, but all the small birds, bellbirds, tui etc had cleared out of the area (or had already been eaten perhaps...).

Went out for a walk today.
This little flew onto a branch a couple of meters away. I started to back off so I could get him in focus (min focus distance is about 5m) but he jumped down onto the path and followed me :saddowns:
I stopped and he came within about 1/2 a meter away and just looked at me waiting for me to move again. He was looking for bugs under the leaves I was disturbing.

The curious effect of atmospheric refraction - created a landscape that isn't really there. This at about 600mm. The apparent buttes etc in the background are the Inland Kaikouras, seen from Chch.
Contrast/levels enhanced to show the effect.
