Summary

[edit]
Description

This female Tieke (Saddleback) was one of three Tieke busily foraging on the forest floor and I managed to capture it when it briefly jumped onto this supplejack vine. Very low light conditions...

North Island saddlebacks have striking black plumage, a rufous chestnut saddle across their back, bright reddish-orange wattles (that get larger with age) and a thin pale yellow band on the leading edge of the saddle. Sexes are alike, although males usually have larger wattles than females of the same age. Juveniles are similar but their plumage lacks the sheen of adults, with dusty brown tips on black body feathers, the gold band is absent, and they have small wattles. <a href="https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/north-island-saddleback" rel="noreferrer nofollow">nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/north-island-saddleback</a>
