One early morning we drove to Ngurunguru. While Jaap ran a few km, I strolled along the beach.
Greenshanks, waiting for the sun to rise.
With their slightly up-curved bills they seem to look the same as ours
Paradise Shellducks flying overhead
Also on the beach: this bird that acts like a wagtail: New Zealand Pipit?
One of many wild flowers: Foxglove
On farmland at Kiripaka: Feral Geese and a Muscovian Duck
More ducks, in the town basin of Whangarei. I took this photo for the light on a bright sunny day. The ducks just happened to be there.
a nose-diving Welcome Swallow; nice name
An outburst of color in an all green Glenbervie Forest: Eastern Rosella
Beach kill: Left a shearwater, right a Little Blue Penguin.
What did they die of? Old age?
Too bad I could not see them alive.
