I haven’t spotted any Pukeko at the lakes recently so was glad to see a couple at sunrise today. 🐦

I borrowed on paper from the Library Backyard Bird Photography: How to Attract Birds to Your Home and Create Beautiful Photographs, 2014, by Mathew Tekulsky 🐦

Not so much a “How-To” as a “How I did”. Disappointing and I was also concerned cameras have advanced a lot since then.

Wow, this 28 minute film is entrancing: Hargila 🐦 :

Through the efforts of a remarkable conservation leader, Dr. Purnima Devi Barman … the [endangered Greater Adjutant storks] are now protected, celebrated, and increasing their numbers locally.

Gorgeous photography.

I’ve seen a few Spur-winged plovers around recently but haven’t had a chance to take a photo of them yet. This picture from October 2018 will have to do for now. 🐦

This photo from February 2020 turns out the be the only one I have of a Goldfinch. 😒 Poor little mite flew into our window and was stunned. 🐦 Need to look out for one to take photos of.
