#birds

The 2023 Wellington bird survey results: kākā counts up 260%, kererū 200% and tūī 85%. The reason there are more native birds in my front yard.

Working from home comes with a view of a big pōhutukawa tree and the two kākā that visit it each week. Finally, a close-up photo of one of them.

A kākā visits the pōhutukawa tree outside our house in Wellington on a Sunday morning, staying well up the tree and clear of the neighbour's cat.

Two weeks into Level 4 lockdown, the traffic and chainsaws went quiet and the birds moved in. A pair of tūī visiting our pōhutukawa tree in Wellington.
