Another day between shifts and even though the weather was inclement I decided I’d go for a walk. I chose once more to head to Zealandia. On my last visit to Zealandia I had encountered a number of saddleback (tieke) and got some photos, and I was itching to get better shots. Arriving it was […]
Once more to Zealandia
I’ve got my replacement camera via insurance and Noel Leeming so decided to head out and try it out. I headed to Zealandia and wandered around for a good three hours, taking a few tracks I hadn’t been on before and naturally taking lots of photos. New for me this time were saddleback on the […]
Waiohine Gorge
As mentioned earlier, if you read my twitter feed (which, to me, sounds so much better than “if you read my tweets”), Keryn has been off gallivanting around Queen Charlotte sound for a few days. As such I’ve had time to myself and today I finally got out to take some photographs. Over the hill […]
Wildlife
Good recent weather has combined with some days off work, so I’ve been out a about a little bit. I went to the Otari-Wilton’s Bush and walked for three hours, having the tracks mostly too myself on a Tuesday morning. It was nice just walking in forest without people, and I got to see a […]
The sun came out
Summer decided to come out from hiding for another day which thankfully coincided with one of my days off. After lunch with Keryn I headed to Karori and spent a few hours walking around Zealandia. I saw my first Zealandia saddleback which was nice, such a striking bird. I also saw five different tuatara and […]
Friday and Saturday
For a long time now we had been planning to go camping last Friday. As it happened the weather forecast was really good and earlier in the week Keryn started sending me suggestions of things we could do. One of these suggestions was to visit Kapiti Island and it took me all of 10 minutes […]
A flying visit
Last weekend we flew up to Auckland to visit Travis and Sophie. We flew up with JetStar and had no problems, there were more issues with Air NZ on the return due to a delayed previous flight. Arriving at the house in we got to meet the cats for the first time. Tikal and Denali […]
Day 7 – Wakey Wakey, Sihanoukville, the Beach
One of the buildings we slept in Keryn should write this really, she was better prepared. Anyway, lets just say that by the time I woke up and more to the point got up we the group was about ready to leave. In the light (very bright, why was this?) of day the complex was […]
A service annoucement
We’re having Internet access issues at home and as I can’t update the blog at work we’re going to possibly have fewer updates than normal over the next few weeks. The open field we walked through to get down towards the stream that ran along the valley that the Sanctuary called home For now we’re […]
As mentioned earlier

Travis and Sophie
On the weekend we were visited by Travis and Sophie. They drove down from Halifax on Friday night and left heading back north early Sunday afternoon. Sunday was a lazy day, Keryn cooked breakfast for everyone (pancakes, fruit and bacon) and we had a walk up to the Brentwood high street for some brief shopping. […]
Three photos
In between working on wedding photos I spend a little time on our photos from recent travels. Here are three photos, one each from Brisbane, Singapore and Paris. Downtown Brisbane Singapore Zoo Paris
