I'm just the opposite Rog. All the human crap we have to put up with day by day is put into perspective watching wild animals do their thing.
The day a few rabid religious fanatics killed 3000 people in America I was sitting on a beach watching Little Blue Penguins swim ashore at their nesting site. I thought them that if human existance was wipped off the face of this plant the Little Blue Penguins would still swim ashore to their nest sites, and probably be better off.
Life gets tedious, don't it?

Wow, 630mm! That's looong. And beautifully sharp. You must have been a long way away, but it looks as if he "made" you by that beady eye.

I was about 15 -20 feet from the Flax plant Roger. The birds were flying past my head to get to the food source. I counted 6 different birds feeding on this one plant. I find if the birds are activly feeding there is no need to hide. I was standing in the open for these shots. There call is easily recognised in the NZ bush and once heard is never forgotten.

Thanks for the comments Tabitha. These were just too easy to photograph, almost flying into me to get to the flax flowers. Hope you got some good shots of the Saddleback. Happy New Year. Regards John
