Friday Feathered Friend

Reporter Community News

This week we feature two pics from Simon Woolf.

"A short trip on Transmission Gully out to the Waikanae Estuary is always a great place to observe and photograph the local birdlife. I was pretty rapt with our Caspian tern and white faced heron experience in particular. Both were in hunting mode, and as you can see both met with success too!"
