T\u012beke\/North Island Saddleback (Philesturnis rufusater<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Last week I wrote about T\u0101wharanui Regional Park as a good place to photograph P\u0101teke\/Brown Teal<\/a>. The Ecology trail is a lovely walk through bush with the possibility of seeing K\u0101k\u0101, K\u0101k\u0101riki (Red-crowned Parakeet), Kerer\u016b, Toutouwai (North Island Robin), and my rellies, P\u014dpokatea (Whitehead). None are guaranteed but I have seen them all from the trail. My hope for this visit was T\u012beke as to photograph them usually requires an island trip. Tiritiri Matangi and Mokoia Island are both reliable sites but cost and time constraints make it a more complex expedition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have not been lucky enough to photograph T\u012beke at T\u0101wharanui previously and this visit seemed to be following the usual script. The cool damp of morning had very little bird activity but on climbing up from the valley onto the sun-exposed side the birdlife blossomed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I encountered three T\u012beke and was lucky enough to have opportunity to photograph two of them. Being endangered and closely monitored they have bands which is distracting photographically but they are beautiful to watch gleaninig food from bark and leaf litter. Hearing their call<\/a> announcing their presence is always exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their dense bush habitat and rapid movement in the low light can make photography difficult but equally makes the reward of success sweeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
