Tui Checking out the Photographer
Very curious birds and was checking me out closely.
New Zealand Dotterel

Canon 7D, 75-300mm Lens
The New Zealand dotterel/tūturiwhatu is an endangered species found only in this country. It was once widespread and common but there are only about 1700 birds left. This serious decline in numbers is due to a combination of habitat loss, predation by introduced mammals and disturbance during breeding.

This was taken by the side of the Notre Dame on the day of the final of the Rugby World Cup between New Zealand and France. After visiting the Cathedral we went on to watch the rugby in a small pub. The woman walking ahead of me in the image is my daughter.

Canon 7D, 10-22mm Lens
This was taken by putting the camera on the ground, with the lens propped up with a spare battery. I didn't have my tripod so the ground kept it steady instead. Gives a good perspective.

Curious Silvereye
Canon 20D, 75-300mm Lens
Looking through some of my photos, I found this one which I have never used. These birds are like silver bullets and never sit still, extremely hard to photograph, so I'm quite pleased with this one.
