NAPIER BIRDING

On Sunday (Oct 28), several of us enjoyed an excellent guided birding trip. Led by Sav Saville of Wrybill Birding Tours, we tallied 44 species during our four hour field trip. New Zealand is rich in bird species. While the guide focused mainly on shorebirds, we did manage to observe several other types of species.

PLEASE EXCUSE THE FUZZY PHOTOS. I ONLY HAD MY VACATION LENS WITH ME ON THE TRIP. SO MOST PHOTOS WERE TAKEN OF BIRDS 30-50 YDS OFF, AND I WAS USING A 10 YD LENS. SIGH!
