Eastern Rosella
Posting my first photo of a rosella. Although they are brightly colored and all over Auckland I can't seem to get close enough to one to get a good shot. This one didn't see me at first but took off as soon as it did.

Bottlenose Dolphin
I was walking back to the car after spending the morning photographing birds on the Tawharanui peninsula when I saw a pod of bottlenose dolphins swimming in the surf. I've seen dolphins a few times over the simmer but luckily I had my long lens with me this time. Very cool to see.
Whitehead
Whiteheads aren't the easiest to photograph since they move around so much but you get lucky sometimes.
Fur Seal Pup
Fur seal pup at Cape Palliser. I could watch them all day long.
New Zealand Sunset
I almost missed this sunset thinking it wasn't going to be great but it ended up being one of most colorful I’ve seen. Thank you New Zealand.
Ruru
Spotted my first ruru (morepork) about a month ago.
