One of my very old photos, taken at a time when I was very new to wildlife photography!

This is definitely the luckiest encounter I've ever had with a Hoiho!
I hope to have a similarly lucky encounter sometime soon, now that I have better camera equipment!

VERY lucky encounter we had one time at Birdling's Flat!!! It was super special to get great and relatively up close views of this awesome animal.

I would really love to see one again sometime!

Easily the most unexpected bird encounter I've ever had! I was getting ready for a year 12 Geography mock exam, when I saw a MARSH CRAKE out of all things scuttle across the courtyard! I unfortunately didn't have my camera on me, but after the exam I went to the art department and borrowed one of their cameras. Unfortunately those cameras weren't the best to put it nicely, which is why these crake photos are so bad. This still remains the only time I've seen a Marsh Crake as of posting this!

I really hope I get a better chance with this species one day, so I can get some actually good photos of it!

I've uploaded a few photos of korimako from this hour, all as separate observations. I was doing the annual garden bird survey and each photo is of a separate bird visit to our garden. I expect some photos are of repeat visits by the same bird, although it's hard to tell here as none were banded.
