The New Zealand dotterel/tūturiwhatu is an endangered species found only in this country. It was once widespread and common but there are only about 1700 birds left. This serious decline in numbers is due to a combination of habitat loss, predation by introduced mammals and disturbance during breeding.

This was taken by putting the camera on the ground, with the lens propped up with a spare battery. I didn't have my tripod so the ground kept it steady instead. Gives a good perspective.

Curious Silvereye

Canon 20D, 75-300mm Lens

Looking through some of my photos, I found this one which I have never used. These birds are like silver bullets and never sit still, extremely hard to photograph, so I'm quite pleased with this one.
