Photo of fledgling takahē - a rotund, black & blue flightless rail fluffball with a huge beak & large legs.
Photo of a takahē family grazing in a hilltop paddock with coastal scenery in the background. Not a bad spot for birding 😊
Photo of takahē parent and chick. A radio aerial used to track these precious birds is visible on the back of the adult bird.
Spent some time with a takahē family at Tāwharanui yesterday. Remarkable to see these endangered tāonga just casually grazing in a paddock #BirdNerd #Birds #BirdPhotography #NotAPūkeko #Tāwharanui
