Just been going through this thread, Some great photos out there. Looks like i need a better Camera.
To answer the question @GravelBen @Gibo of "Whats this bird?" the above is a Grey Warbler. Probably the most common and most heard bird in the bush, well around the Ruahines its very common.

Huge thank you to @Pengy for setting me up with some wonderful gear.
Just a few bird shots from the last couple of months - no rare birds - but always something interesting -
Lots of pheasants round the property - the roosters are a bit flashy now -

Lots of quail as well - the cock birds are always up on a fence post -
http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/...G_3261%202.jpg
Lots of Kingfisher on the property - seem to just move from one fence post to another -

Either a Blackbird or Thrush always use this standard rose under the eaves each year - this Thrush did well -

I see the Royal Spoonbills wading round the estuary down the road occasionally - but was surprised to see them up a large dead pine tree a month or so back -

Parries are clever birds and can always find a safe place to nest - not sure there were any large holes up there -

Haha OK. deal still stands then! A keg for a Kaituna kotuku

Just a wee Fantail chick with Mum - first time I have ever seen one
I was about 3m away but the camera was very basic - Mum turned up and flew him away

Possibly a Redpoll. An introduced finch.
No ducks quacking but an awesome song up at the pond.

This little fella was hanging around todayAttachment 69103Attachment 69104Attachment 69105changed the setting on the camera after the first one and now I see I had the resolution set for really low .... coulda shoulda done better
Just a couple of oldies.
Doing some shoot maintenance ysertday and came across this pheasant [ATTACH=CONFIG]73369
Its a Reeves's pheasant. Very noisy when they fly and are meant to have a huge long tail.
Also rather aggressive. This one was not going to move:D
No peas poor crop of it too:(
I don't claim to be any kind of photographer but thought it was cool bumping into this fella while out walking the pooch.Attachment 76412
