Feeding time for the royal spoonbills / kōtuku ngutupapa (Platalea regia) at Ration Point in Pauatahanui. I watched them pull up several small flounder, I had no idea they were such good fisherfolk.

Fernbird / mātātā (Poodytes punctatus) midway between Ration Point and Motukaraka, Pāuatahanui. I love the brownish red background in this area, caused by the shrubby bushes and orangey grasses the fernbirds like to live in.

Fernbird / mātātā (Poodytes punctatus) at Pāuatahanui on Sunday. They were more bold than usual - it must be the time of year. We saw several chasing each other out in the open (they are usually shy).

Sandflies? Please. The golden light at Pāuatahanui Inlet was worth every itchy bite. This pied stilt | poaka shot at sunset is proof!

Today's pictures, the late afternoon light on the hills of the Pauatahanui inlet. I really like the way the low angle of light picks out the shape of the land. The tide was out.
The trees framing the middle shot are Pohutukawa, there are a few flowers still on them.

New to Blue Sky. Enjoy nature photography and painting. Kicking off the New Year with a young tūī (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) feeding in the flax flowers at Pauatahanui, New Zealand - its face is covered in orange pollen. Bird #1 in 2025.

I find it so difficult to get a decent shot of a welcome swallow / warou (Hirundo neoxena) in flight. I take my hat off to anyone that manages it. As a mere mortal, I wait for them to stop for a wee rest and a stretch on a convenient perch. Pauatahanui.

Tarāpunga a Red-billed Gull Pāuatahanui inlet, just north of Wellington New Zealand diving for small crabs. They are not built like larger Gulls and seem to almost float in the air effortlessly.
