Time on Tiritiri
I just spent a few days as a volunteer on the open scientific sanctuary of Tiritiri Matangi, in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. It has been a trail blazer in an alliance between the NZ Govt Dept. of Conservation, Academic institutions, and the community (including the indigenous Maori) to return a farmed island back to its original native bush state, and to make it a home to breed and study endangered species of both flora and fauna. The island's population of wildlife included the native Takahe, a native dweller of tussock lands of which there are barely birds 360 left; Tuatara a reptile that dates barck 250 million years and precedes the dinosaurs and a lot of other endangered and threatened species.

A lot of these birds live in deep bush, and are coloured to blend into it, so they are hard to isolate and get a decent image of. Here are a couple of images of the Korimako or Bell Bird. They are very small, move erratically and continuously and stick to deep cover generally.

All images hand-held, available light

A Korimako waits its turn to access a water point

All three of your images are very nicely captured, Trevor! Excellent sharpness.

I think this is referred to as a Manky Mallard. Only one I've seen, I think.

Excellent close-up shot, Steve. I've not heard of a Manky mallard. Interesting history of this duck. I'm surprised they can fly.

Thanks for the comments Mike. First time seeing a Lanner falcon, they are quite striking birds.

Cool looking bird. How common are the sightings of these birds in northern Australia? Read that one of its three subspecies may be extinct.
