At Pukekura Park in New Plymouth, we wandered to the Bowl of Brooklands where they have concerts throughout the year. The Canadian geese got some good seats down front.
This pair of Paradise Ducks were enjoying the sunny day along with the geese.
Hubby was intrigued with the sparrows on the lily pads in the pond by the stage.
Another of Hubby's shots--a preening pukeko.

Love your bird shots, especially the preening pukeko, (they are such characters) and the sparrows on the water lilies. In fact i like them all.

I love these bird shots. Wish I could be there in person. Looking at these reminded me of a movie we just watched, The Big Year, all about "birding" or keeping track of all the different types of birds you can spot within the span of a year. It has me really thinking about the bounty of bird beauty that exists in the world.
Love thatfirst shots of thewise Geese getting to the venu early to getgood seats!
What a stunning venue for concerts. Love your bird photos.
Looks like a great place for concerts and birds :)
Nothing as relaxing as watching birds, especially water birds.
Like those birds arrayed in the first pic
great shots....
Love the concert place. I always prefer outdoor concerts and I think birds do too :)
Lovely shots - all of them!
Those were great shots. That 1st one where the geese were sitting by those stairs caught my eye right away. I enjoyed seeing all your bird shots today.
Beautiful shots of birds.
Very nice shots - I would have been interested in the sparrows on the lily pads as well - I have never seen them doing that.
