I have seen so many wonderful birds in New Zealand in my first few days here: Australasian harriers, kingfishers, three different species of shearwater, storm petrels walking on the water, a couple of blue penguins out at sea, and yesterday my first fantail. I haven’t managed to capture all of them on camera (harriers and kingfisher seen whilst driving!) but here are a few of those that I have.

Interesting to see how similar they are to birds we see in the UK. They show what an interconnected world we live in

Yes, but with tiny differences like the red billed gull or the white faced heron! I was struck by the big fuss made over the UKs first ever purple swamphen sighting last year – here the pukekos are just crossing the road outside the house all the time!
