They weren't alone, however. This kotuku was perched on the car roof surveying the scene in a suitably majestic manner. I wonder if he was interested in a baked breakfast or just there for the company.

Petone Feathers
Our back yard bird feeding station brings the usual sparrows, and blackbirds, thrushes and starlings are active on the lawn. Seagulls pass over, sometimes landing on the roof or dropping shellfish to smash open on the garage roof. As I walk each morning I pass a block of flats where one of the occupants sometimes throws bread on the driveway in the mornings. This morning there was no bread, but two hopeful ducks had decided to wait on.

When you are in the right place at the right time the bird life is magical around here. Like a flight of about two dozen or so black herrings I watched skiming the waves in perfect formation near the bottom of your street. The numbers of Tui's and wood pigeons around York Bay, Lowry Bay and Eastbourne have to be seen to be believed!
ReplyDeleteFlying herrings - amazing. Next you'll say you saw swimming herons, though this is at least within the realms of possibility.
