Birds of Rakino A few beaut photos of Rakino’s birdlife taken by Jennie Cruse. Mr. Tui guzzling flax nectar. Plumptious kereru in a pohutukawa tree. Watchful Kotare perching on coprosma. Kakariki snaffling flax seeds. Waxies on the wing, feasting on figs. Oystercatcher wearing a plague-doctor beak. Pukeko! Always the crowd-pleaser.. One of the multitudes of fledgling Tui. Piwakawaka on the flit. Alert Mr. Tui, guarding his flax patch. Author: Simon Part-time rock dweller Published by Simon Part-time rock dweller View all posts by Simon
