Otari-Wilton's bush smells like nectar heaven with all the native trees flowering 😍. Loads of kererū, tūī and bellbirds around.
Uiui the kereru is so gorgeous he now has his own portrait! Local artist Joanne Bowe will be exhibiting this magnificent portrait of Uiui in Cambridge over the next three weeks. The exhibition showcases NZ wildlife portraits with a unique twist. Check out the flyer in the comments section below for details. We are amazed at how well Joanne has managed to capture the iridescence of Uiui's feathers in this portrait and the almost translucent tip of his beak!
The first of the 2018 youngsters has arrived! This gorgeous wee Kereru was discharged from the The Wildlife Hospital - Dunedin today after being admitted a couple of weeks ago with a fractured clavicle. He is starting to fly again already.
I posted a video 10 days ago of some footage from one of my trail cameras of rats very close to my aviaries. Rats are devastating to our wildlife. This morning I was relieved to find a large female ship rat underneath the Goodnature A24 - I have on a tree between two of my aviaries.
All round it has been a good day!
