White Pelicans

Got this shot last year before moving to New Zealand. I like the way the white pelicans seem to form a circle in flight.

Young Gannet

Young gannet wondering what life will be like once it leaves Muriwai. Photo take a couple weeks ago.

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.

Ruru

Found this ruru on the Milford Track a couple weeks ago.

Welcome Swallow

This is cropped more than I usually prefer but these guys are hard to photograph in flight. Welcome swallow grabbing a snack from Western Springs.

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.
