| Description |
Went back to Bushy Park with the objective of getting some Tieke shots and a female Hihi. I picked a day when the forecast was for plenty of light but in fact it was quite dull and overcast much of the time. Saw plenty of Tieke but trying to get a clear shot was defintely a challenge, made more difficult by the low light conditions. These five posts are my pick of the Tieke shots that I managed to get that day. Interesting, these are all females... 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> Captured at Bushy Park Whanganui: <a href="https://bushypark.nz/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bushypark.nz/</a> |
