I had only 2 minutes at the lake this afternoon. How lucky to spot a Matuku moana | White-faced heron, Ngutupapa | Royal Spoonbill, heaps of birds including black swans, and my favourite Weweia | New Zealand dabchick. 🐦




I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds, and strive to be an actively decent human being. In late August 2025 I will move from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Now 70, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all humans should have access to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that we are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants.
