New Zealand by land -Air & Sea

if New Zealand isn't on your wish list, it should be - amazing landscapes, Bird and animal life second to none, plus the friendliest people you'll ever meet.

I’m married to a kiwi and we go back to visit every other year. I spend most of my time there photographing bird and landscapes . It’s a great place to get to visit regularly. BTW, that’s a Pūkeko, not a Takahē . Pūkeko are fairly common and can fly, while the Takahē are flightless, endangered and you can pretty much on see the in preservses. Takahē are stockier and have green feathers on their back.

That would be unfortunate, as I took the word of our local guide, plus the pic I took from Willow Bank and their website calls it a Takahe? although I researched the other and they are very similar, so I could see how someone could confuse the two, - Thanks for watching

It probably just flew into the Takahē enclosure, you see Pukeko everywhere in the fields at dawn and dusk, and they look a lot alike. Definitely worth another trip if you ever get the chance.
