Ahh, the bird that gave so many of us problems over at "Guess the Species."
Very nice pictures, Chlidonias. I'd like to say that I feel you're lucky to live in such a place like New Zealand, but then again I recently heard someone say that New England has some of the most beautiful songbird species in the world... I myself enjoy seeing them, so I guess I'm lucky to live here!
That always seems to be the case. Someone in Australia would say, "Oh I'd love to see a white-tailed deer in my backyard!", whilst the American would say, "What I'd give just to catch a glimpse of a wild cockatoo!"
