Fantail/pīwakawaka at Days Bay

Louise from Woburn

An absolute ripper of a spring day in the Hutt on Saturday (unlike today). The duck pond at Days Bay was a hive of activity, the shags are nest building, the tui and kererū were gorging on the kōwhai in flower, and the two buff Orpington ducks that live there are super busy being policemen about where the other ducks are allowed to stop. We were thrilled to be buzzed by fantails and grey warblers while sitting on the mossy seat behind the pond. I think this is my favourite photo from the weekend, I’m loving the moss and lichen swaddled branches about at the moment. Fantail/pīwakawaka (Rhipidura fuliginosa).
