Hello all,
I've finally completed putting up the last of my New Zealand photographs
from last year's subantarctic trip onto my website (www.wildlifing.com).
I've moved house and have had lots of internet problems over the last
couple of months (hence the lack of updates)- hopefully things have
stabilised for a while now that I have found a reasonable internet
service provider.
This lot of photos covers Stewart Island and Ulva Island. It includes
photos of delectable birds like the Yellowhead, South Island Saddleback
and the inquisitive Weka. While I was in the deep south of New Zealand I
found myself with a day to fill in at The Bluff and so spent what was a
pleasant few hours at Bluff Hill in a lovely remnant of mature forest.
I've put up some photos from here as well including Brown Creeper and
Grey Warbler.
To update the Australian side of things, I've put up some photos of
nesting Pied Oystercatchers, Hooded Plovers and Fairy Terns from Orford,
SE Tasmania.
On the Masked Owl front, the surveys are proceeding well. On average I
pick up a Masked Owl at about 15% of the sites that I survey. A bit more
in really good areas and less in not so good areas. Of course, defining
which areas are which is the reason I am doing the surveys. On one night
in the north-west of Tas, a few weeks ago, I picked up 3 owls in 8
surveys, the only time I've had 3 owls in in night ( I usually count 1
owl as a successful night!)
Cheers
Mick Todd
