If you see a pīwakawaka / fantail in the right light they have a subtle rainbow in their tail feathers! 🌈

I’ve wanted to set up a camera at my bird bath for so long, I’ve finally got myself a trail camera to film the action. Today’s highlight was this stunning kererū doing head bops and having a good gulp.

Here’s a glimpse at some of the toitoi / common bully that will be released in @ZEALANDIA’s upper dam today! I may be a bird person but these little freshwater fish stole my heart when I got to spend some time with them this week 🐟

These two little titipounamu (rifleman) decided Zealandia wasn’t for them and have made themselves at home in neighbouring Waimapihi. How incredible is this footage captured by @Rarghwoolf!

@naturevision I watched it online 😊 I’m always keen to hear inspiring women speak, I love the increasing sense of girl power in conservation!

This pīpīwharauroa / shining cuckoo has set up residence in my garden, picking the caterpillars off my kōwhai tree one by one.
It’s pretty amazing stepping outside and seeing such an elusive bird in the same spot every day!
