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...- Dwaalgast

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 :(!!- Dwaalgast

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- Dwaalgast

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...- Dwaalgast

young Rockwallaby in mothers pouch
When I was photographing Rock Wallabys I saw a mother with a thick pouch. At one moment the joey opened the pouch with one hand to look outside to this strange guy who made the clicking sounds. Luckily I was in a good position to make this picture. Jack http://www.dwaalgast.nl- Dwaalgast

Rarotonga Monarch
Not many people have seen this bird. The Rarotonga Monarch or Kakerori was thought to be extinct untill in 1980 people discovered 20 birds on Rarotonga (Cook Isls.). Thanks to a succesfull recovery plan there are about 250 birds. Jack http://www.dwaalgast.nl- Dwaalgast
