    Great Bowerbird

    Fascinating birds, these Bowerbirds. I felt a little bit like David Attenborough when I was on this site. The way the male birds try to attract the females is so nice to see. I spent hours looking and making pictures. This is "la moment suspreme", the reward for the male after building...

    Soaring Wanderer

    During a Pelagic trip in Kaikoura, New Zealand, this guy was hanging behind the boat. In Kaikoura you can see all kinds of seabirds at very close distance. This one, for example, bit me in my finger, when I was trying how close I could get. They bite hard :(!!

    Sleeping Beauty

    During a nightwalk I saw this sleeping Garnet Pitta sitting on the end of a thin branch. It is then easy for the bird to feel the biggest enemy, snakes, approaching. New pictures of New Zealand and the Cook Islands on my website http://www.dwaalgast.nl Jack

  13. Wandering Tattler

    Wandering Tattler

    Allways difficult to see wich Tattler it is. I think it is a Wandering because of the length of the nasal groove (around 2/3 of the lenght of the bill). Grey-tailed has a groove max half of the bill. Normally these birds are shy but when you stay as low near the ground as possible the birds are...
