Moturoa Birds

 

 

 

 

Lots of birds on Moturoa.
It is managed as a wildlife refuge. We took lots of pics and here are some of them:
Baby white-fronted tern with red billed gull on the wharf.
Banded rail which stalked around our cottage, coming right up to the back door sometimes.
Dead blue penguin with colour rings on its right wing, washed up on Picnic Beach.
Fantail (piwakawaka) on fence by the orchard.

Moturoa Island

 

 

 

 

We are just back from our 5 day retreat on Moturoa. It was a retreat from computers, phone, garden, house work. No cars, no shops! Lots of water, boats and birds. Very relaxing! More pictures on the way and will be added before this post.
