A Little Wildlife
September 14th, 2013
Wildlife and watching wildlife remains one of my passions. I clearly remember my very first sighting of a Pukeko, the iconic New Zealand bird. On this trip, I hadn’t seen any Pukekos and was concerned about where they go in the winter months. After all, it is a relatively small island! Then, when we were taking our morning constitutional walk around the lake near her home, there they were! In fact, they were everywhere, wandering around on the maincured lawns and foraging among the reeds! Yay! The trip would have been lacking had I not had another Pukeko interaction to take home with me!
