• As we arrived at the beach today a small flock of half a dozen birds startled. I was very excited — they are the first arrivals this season of the Kuaka, Bar-tailed Godwits, fresh from their 12,000 Km, 8 day flight from the Arctic. So glad I took my Fuji X-T2 and zoom lens! 🐦

  • Down at the beach this morning we upset a Pied Stilt who was presumably nesting nearby. 🐦

  • Today is Saturday 21 September 2019 and the quail have produced the first egg of the season. 🐦🥚 We have 12 hours and 02 minutes of sun today. Last year we also had the first eggs on this day. Clever girls!
