This ruru or New Zealand morepork posed quite patiently and undeterred by my presence. I got some of my best ruru images that day and I left him in peace just as I found him.

Superb owls, you say? This is the Ruru, or Morepork (famously associated with the Anhk, because they're all goth girls)

No matter how many opportunities I get to photograph the ruru or New Zealand Morepork, they never fail to thrill me.

Ruru! (Morepork, endemic owl of Aotearoa New Zealand.) In my garden!

Ruru: The native morepork is known for its haunting, melancholic call. This sound gives it the Māori name 'ruru'.

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

Choosing a BBQ sauce because they don’t have my favorite in stock, and the name reminds me of Discworld. Hopefully Morepork is good.

Before morning coffee. After morning coffee.
A morepork owl. On the right it is a lovely small owl sitting in someone's hand. On the left it is wet and looks terrifying and undead.

英文名morepork，因为叫声像这个发音而得名，毛利语ruru
因为昼伏夜出和保护色，虽然我能听到院子里树上一定有不少morepork生活，却几乎从未找见过

We came upon this little owl with such an unusual name, Morepork, in #NewZealand. It is also called a Tasmanian Spotted Owl, the name Morepork comes from the two-tone vocalizations that it makes. #birds #birding #travel #photography

…and this is why we live in a frikkin rainforest. Peaceful hot tubbin while the Ruru/Morepork (native owls) gently tell each other to fuck off. Ah, nature.

A close-up of a Ruru / Morepork. A fluorescent tube light is reflected in each of her big round shiny eyes; black pupils ringed by irises of honey-yellow. She is wrapped in a light lavender-blue fabric with what looks to be a very soft material and stitch pattern. The Ruru's feathers are dark brown with streaks of tan, and an X-shaped bridge of cream above the beak and between her anime-character eyes.

The other night I went into my kitchen and jumped out of my skin a little bit to see a morepork staring straight at me from outside. Really special moment, I’ve never seen one irl before!
