They are EVERYWHERE! This one however looked me right in the eye. Usually they go quickly away from people.
This is the view down to the beach were we walked to see the penguins and sea lions.
On the way to the beach, we passed several ponds full of birds and wildlife. This kingfisher was just waiting for his lunch.
I saw a small ceramic of this Pukeko in a gift shop an bought it hoping I would see one in the brush. Sure enough, he was walking along with his mate on one side of the road and a huge hawk was on th other side hunting for something in the grass. Score!
Here is the beach and the lighting during our walk for sea lions. It really was beautiful.
Going to the penguins, we passed many trees that were shaped like this because of the high winds on the bluff.
Black swans were not native to New Zealand, but were plentiful in the ponds.
Those of you who go out to eat with me know I love different types of pizza. This was at a local pub and had carmalized pineapple and ham with chunky potatoes. I think they were just deep fried, but not shaped like fries. Some good spice on there as well. Lunch $12 NZ. Good deal here.
