On our last trip to Whanganui, we stopped at this little wildlife refuge at
Lake Westmere on Rapanui Road. You can walk all the way around the lake,
about 45 minutes walking, but we just went a little ways down the path.
Hubby found a tui that was too busy eating nectar from the kowhai trees to notice us.
I was trying to get a shot of the reeds in the water, but my
view was mostly obstructed. I think the shots I got are quite
moody and interesting, though.
Fantastic images of this magnificent bird.
ReplyDeleteAlso the other photos are really well done.
They all fit perfectly to the "Nature Thursday"
Thanks!
And ♥ly greetings
fabulous to see a tui drinking nectar and yes a lovely moody shot of the water
ReplyDeleteNice! I like to stop by wildlife refuges. Actually, seeing (or looking for) wildlife is one of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing the sharing of an area in your neck of the woods. As I never have traveled much, it is nice to see places where others can photograph and share. Sounds like a nice day's outing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me.
