Kereru by dide

Kereru

While away at Omana Regional Park, we were camped near a small patch of bush and in particular a big puriri tree. There were four kereru (NZ native woodpigeons) who were flying in and out of the tree at a great rate of knots. They are noisy flyers and would land in the tree with a great crash and scattering of leaves. They were impossible to photograph because of the leafy tree, but this one landed in another tree nearby. He was in such a hurry that he got one wing caught in a branch!
Oh he’s beautiful. I love his rich feather colors.
