black swans

We stopped by Lake Mangamahoe for the first time in a long time.

It was overcast and a breeze rippled the water, making photos rather difficult.

There are lots of ducks and swans on this manmade lake.

Click here for more about the lake.

I'm not sure what is going on with cygnets at this time of year! (It's autumn)

Oamaru

Most of the photos of Sumpter's Wharf in Oamaru find it covered in shag/cormorants. It closed to shipping in 1974 and is now a registered historic place. Click here for some history of the Wharf.

Oamaru is a small town in the South Island that you don't hear much about. unless you know there were limestone quarries there and many historic buildings built from it.

Many of the old buildings have been turned into shops.

Goblin Forest

These are some photos from my archives that were taken on Mt Taranaki

as we walked up to Wilkies Pools. 

I am always intrigued by nature.

Wingspan NZ

Here are some more photos I took at Wingspan National Bird of Prey Center.

The falcons  do not become attached emotionally. 

They know that this place is a source of food,

so they are eventually wired with GPS 

and can fly wherever they please. 

Apparently, Hubby was very pleasing!

You can see this one's wire as he (?) perches on a pole...

...way over there!

 The falcons we saw are used for breeding because they were too injured 

to be released back into the wild.

Their offspring are released and are kept observed as the falcons are more

endangered than the kiwi birds.

Barn owls made their way here from Australia and have made themselves at home!
