Day 228 Another Visitor
Usually it is very rare for us to see the native New Zealand Kereru (Wood Pigeon) in urban areas, but we have been seeing them quite frequently.

Day 142 Wood Pigeon
Occasionally we have 'one' Wood Pigeon (Kereru) visit us.
The Kereru is native to New Zealand and is an endangered species (hence the furore that was caused by some international tourists recently).
Today we had SEVEN!!!
They are the most amazing bird, they are huge 51cms (20 inches) long. You know when they are flying over you as their wings move quite slowly and make a noise like a helicopter in slow motion (Whooshing). They swoop quite low and with their large wing span can be quite intimidating.
None of my shots of several of the Kereru in a group were very good, so this was the best of the lot.
