Native podocarp-broadleaved forest /

5 seen, more than 20 heard within 3 hrs. Pretty amazing.
not sure if it is a duck or a goose
Seen from the shore
Not the two BBGs in the front
Stoked with this one! We had just started driving out of Awarua Bay on our second and final day searching for New Zealand Dotterels with no luck. We decided to stop on the drive back as there were quite a few birds around, and there happened to be two SNZD feeding together!
This pheasant was run over on Weedons Road, Rolleston, Canterbury. Female ring neck pheasant? Or a male of another species? Looks like a frill on back of head?
First time I've seen them here in 12 visits. More than 100 birds
With Mallard x Grey Duck hybrids.
