I went to New Zealand 5 years ago but never really posted many images of the wonderful birds from there. New Zealand is not only one of the most beautiful places on this planet, but it also has some magnificent and some endangered birds. I was actually going through the New Zealand trip photos and missed a number that I had not processed or processed hurriedly and did a re-do.
1) Tomtit - male.
Z7 + 500 f5.6 PF, 1/500s f/5.6 at 500.0mm iso2200
2) Kākā Parrot - An endangered bird, listed as Vulnerable. A large parrot, about the size of an Australian Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. This was shot at Orokonui Ecosanctuary (highly recommended) where the birds are wild and can come and go as they please, but there are feeders there to help with their survival.
