We have a great collection of birdlife where I live.
The bush, mountains and bay offer a broad cross section of native and non-native fauna. In spring and summer the kereru, tui and other tree dwellers gorge themselves on the honey-type offerings from the flowers of flax, kowhai and fruit trees.
Being coastal the marine birds are always busy fishing and fossicking. It's pure pleasure watching the gannets fly up high and dive down Stuka-style into the water.
Today I spied a heron in the back garden. It was hunting something - snails or maybe skinks. I watched it for a long tie before something spooked it.

Oh! Your posts are newsworthy. I must have missed that.
Why was the bird wearing a tie?
Shouldn't you be looking for good chardonnays?
Like pronouns?
