Kaikoura coastline

Kaikoura will forever be one of my favourite places in New Zealand. I've been lucky to have spent quite a bit of time here; undertaking whale research, working, living and playing along this stunning part of coastline. The coastal walk along the top of the peninsula is a must-do when visiting Kaikoura.

Birds at Orokonui Ecosanctuary

Following on from my previous post, below are some New Zealand birds that I photographed on my visit to Orokonui Ecosantuary. Many of these species struggle to survive outside of the fenced off ecosanctuary, due to predation by introduced predators outside of the fence.
