    Running the same bit of kit. They're pretty impressive toys but have found it a bit hard to use in the scree/boulder fields as every thing is lit.

    Female tokoeka/laser kiwi calling in a mate in the Murchison mountains. 2-5 meters range. Picked her up from 150 meters.

    Never seen a kiwi in the wild,its interesting the different wild life we have out there at night.Last summer i watched a wild pig chaseing a yearling deer around for about 30 minuts,stop,starting.Very entertaining.

    Wow that kiwi picture is amazing. I never had any idea how good the insulation value of those feathers could be! The body show no heat at all. Does anyone know if kiwi actually have low body temperature under the feathers?

    Animals in early spring still have their winter coats on.
    Some deer you only see their skull n jaws.Rest of their bodys,just a very dark glow.
    Deer antlers stand out a long way on top of bush line.Fill of hot blood thru thin velvet.

    sheep are the same. a decent clip of wool and they are almost invisible at night, except for a hot frontal skull and close down by the hooves. We could not figure out what this weird animal was, sitting on top of a fencepost. Thought it must be a possum, but looked all wrong. Turned the spotlight on and it was a sheep looking at us over the top of the fencepost. Nothing else of it was visible, so well insulated was its coat.

    My sheep are wiltshires and even in full fleece have only a thin layer of wool. They stick out like lightbulbs in a thermal. I was surprised how much hotter they register than deer do.
