Here are some of the birds we saw yesterday Tiritiri Matangi Island open sanctuary. They are all important to help pollinate or propagate new native trees. Clockwise from top left: bellbird, wood pigeon, robin, tui, morepork, takahe, stitchbird and saddleback.
Thank you for sharing that great collage Dianne with the names of each bird. Love seeing birds from other countries even if you are not that far away geographically fav :)
Instant Fav! A beautiful collage with each individual shot wonderful! It must have been fantastic to visit this sanctuary and see these beautiful birds! When I visited NZ I was on a boat in Doubtful Sound and could hear bell birds singing! A sound I will never forget!
Beautiful collage - what a wonderful place this reserve must be. 28 saddlebacks were recently released on Adele Is. in the Tasman National Park. I hope to visit there later this summer.
