Another #Bird photo! Tired of them already? There’s plenty more coming!

This is another #Korimako ( #Bellbird).

Based on the date, I think this was taken at #LakeMatheson (I took a lot of bird photos there).

I’m very slowly starting to post photos from my trip to New Zealand a couple of months ago…

This is one of my favourites. A bellbird, or korimako (as far as I’m aware). This was such a chance shot as well, we were hiking along a trail, I saw it out of the corner of my eye and I moved very carefully & quickly to get a stable shot before it flew away!

I think I literally got this one shot of this bird and that’s it before it was gone.

Here's map of all the korimako (bellbirds) I saw and heard in 2022 along my standard run routes through Ōtautahi-Christchurch. Korimako are endemic forest birds that are common in the forests and hill suburbs of Port Hills. They're also now well established in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, and have recently settled into the planted tree patches in the Wigram Retention basin area. They remain rare in the flat suburbs.
