The Shore Plover. Less than 250 of these little ones left, but the numbers are growing thanks to Mana island.
Mana Island is an offshore island in the north island of New Zealand. Run by the department of conservation and what a job they do throughout the country. They are my hero's !!. One of our Rodent free offshore islands around the country used for conservation.
1: Mana Island, sorry but landscapes is not my thing and it shows. Just to give you an idea. The south island of NZ in the background (around 14 miles away).
2: So a very rare little bird about the size of a small sparrow
3: So where they come into feed sometimes at Plimmerton is a 10 minute drive from home, its also where I take shots of the white fronted Terns.
4: Keeping an eye out
5: You looking at me
6: Not a great shot, but with these I take what I can get
7: Must be getting onto snooze time
Sony NEX-7, Canon FD 500 F/4.5L
All the best folks.
