New Zealand 7


Always enticing me to follow them, the California Quails.

They seem to think the world belongs to them, muttering about in gardens, taking the chicks for a walk on the driveway



  

Fluttering up to take place on a post, treetop or L&M’s new sophisticated garden umbrella to get a better view.


Lining the road towards town, ever so pretty Agapanthus


  



The Spurred-winged Plovers are self-introduced Lapwings from Australia.



They use their nail-like spurs like weapons
It gives these birds an unfriendly, vicious image.

Extended spurs before landing


Another Pohutukawa shot, this time with a House Sparrow.
