Seen here is Star: a female New Zealand falcon (Kārearea) doing what she does best - flying low to the ground using the natural contours of the landscape to her advantage at Wingspan National Bird of Prey Centre - Rotorua, NZ. #wildspacenz #nzfalcon #birdofprey

There are two birds of prey that you are able to see in Aotearoa NZ during the day, the Kāhu, and the much less common New Zealand falcon/Kārearea. I've painted this one for the upcoming Taiari Catchment Biodiversity poster.
