I love the daily Birdle because it keeps me humble. Some of the questions are really tricky 😂 I also appreciate that I get to practice and test my te reo at the same time!
I've been giving my new(ish) Sony a1 (or α1) a try out with the 100-400mm GM lens. This was from a Kāruhirihi nest, where one of the fledglings was practicing its wing beats. For a brief split-second it lifted off the nest. But the α1 has the speed to capture such moments.
The Kāuruhiruhi is the Māori name for pied cormorant (or pied shag). Of the 18 known cormorant species known worldwide, 12 are also found in NZ.

@TheyLookLikeUs I'd either need to work on my flexibility or have a very long singlet 🤔
I can’t believe it’s been 17 years… time flies, but kiwis don’t.

We have lots of bird life in our Christchurch garden - helping themselves to the figs. Lots of finches, silvereyes, thrushes, fantails as well as the usual others.
