So apparently I illustrated a picture book?? Where am I?? Huge thanks to the unstoppable team at @allenandunwinnz and Nicola Toki (CE of Forest & Bird no less) for her gorgeous story based on the classic Five Little Ducks nursery rhyme. $1 from every book goes to Forest & Bird. You can pre-order a copy through me at my bookshop @pictura.books or through any other NZ bookseller! - #fiveweepūteketeke #pūteketeke #crestedgrebe #birdofthecentury #forestandbird @lastweektonight @twigandtweetboss @forestandbird

North Island Robin | Toutouwai - Did you know? There are actually 3 different species of Robin in New Zealand the North Island, South Island, and Stewart Island. ———————————————————— Shot With @nikonnz Nikon Z8 - Nikkor 300mm F2.8 ———————————————————— S:1/1000 A:4 ISO:2000 ———————————————————— Declining ❌ The North Island robin occurs in forest and scrub habitats. It can be recognised by its erect stance and relatively long legs, and spends much time foraging on the ground. It is a territorial species, males in particular inhabiting the same patch of mainland forest of 1-5 ha throughout their lives. Male are great songsters, particularly bachelors, singing loudly and often for many minutes at a time. Where robins are regularly exposed to people, such as along public walking tracks, they become quite confiding, often approaching to within a metre of a person sitting quietly. Naïve juveniles will sometimes stand on a person’s boot. @nikonnz #nikon #nikonnz #newzealand #forestandbird @forestandbird #predatorfreenz @predatorfreenz #nzgeo @nzgeo #newzealandbirds @bird_freaks @bestbirdshots @bird_brilliance #raw_allnature #raw_newzealand #raw_wildlife @raw_australia_nz @pestfreetoken

The first kiwi/tokoeka sighting!🥝 We were kept awake by kiwi calls the whole night at Long Harry hut. Early morning Ties decided to try and find them. After walking around for a bit he heard some rustling in the bush. And there it was, just a few centimetres from his feet! After taking the first pictures he ran back to the hut to get the others. Luckily it was still foraging when we came back😁 #kiwi #kiwibird #tokoeka - - - - - - #birdsofaotearoa #forestandbird #stewartisland #newzealand #nz #nzmustdo #aotearoa # #purenewzealand #newzealandguide #rakiura #visitnewzealand #tramping #hiking #landscapephotography #thruhike #hikelife #dronephotography #bestnewzealand #discovernewzealand #travelnewzealand #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram #ratite #birds_captures #birdlovers #birdsnewzealand

This is my illustrators desk. Long gone is the old drawing board, replaced by laptop, Wacom Cintiq drawing tablet and another screen for 'putting things on, like reference. There's a bunch of clutter there too (why the sunblock? it's nearly winter!) I decided to put up one of my favorite illos from 'The Proud Pūteketeke' as my digital wallpaper. Here are the grebes diving for fish. You can't get too much of a Pūteketeke!

Posted @withregram • @bluntumbrellas 🍃🪶🐦 Aotearoa New Zealand is home to iconic wildlife, from the charismatic kākāpō to the awe-inspiring toroa albatross. But our precious ecosystems and species, found nowhere else in the world, are under threat. Habitat loss, climate change and introduced predators are hitting them hard. New Zealand has the highest proportion of threatened species anywhere in the world and as a country, we can’t let any more of our nature be lost to history. The stunning umbrellas showcase two distinct designs crafted by celebrated Kiwi artists Erin Forsyth and Rachel Walker. 🎨 Every umbrella purchase supports vital conservation efforts, featuring designs by acclaimed Kiwi artists. Let’s shelter ourselves from the rain while protecting nature’s wonders.🌂 #BLUNTready #ForestandBird #rain #shine #belgravia #knightsbridge #giftideas #umbrella #viral #foryou #fyp #fyp#foryoupage #foryoupageofficiall

Earth Day, a sacred ode to our terrestrial home, Where whispers of the wind and murmurs of the streams roam. A day when all unite, hand in hand, To nurture the soil, protect the seas, and cherish the land. A symphony of life, in every leaf and bloom, A canvas painted with hues of green, in nature’s grand room. We pledge to be stewards, guardians of the Earth’s embrace, In harmony with the cosmos, we find our rightful place. For every dawn brings promise, a chance to renew, To honor the earth’s bounty, in all that we do. With reverence and love, we tread this hallowed ground, For Earth Day echoes the heartbeat of creation’s profound.

On 22 April 1970 more than 20 million people in the USA protested for better protection of the environment. Called "Earth Day", it is now annually recognised as a day to promote conservation issues across the globe. By chance on Friday I was in my garden planting native shrubs and ferns as Sam and Levi @levi_cohen_ came by selling subscriptions to New Zealand's Royal Forest and Bird Society @forestandbird . Forest and Bird do good work protecting New Zealand's wildlife and forests, especially as the country's politics have taken a distinct shift to the right, with environmental protections now seen as of less concern than before. By the way, Dicksonia is not the only tree fern in New Zealand, there's also oodles of Cyathea tree ferns in our native forests too. Planting trees now and then influences my music - feel free to follow it via the link in my biography. #newzealand #newzealandnatural #newzealandlife #visitnewzealand #newzealandlocations #newzealandadventures #newzealandphotography #naturehike #hiking #landscape #spottedpeccary #ambientelectronic #ambient #ambientmusic #synth #soundscapes #spacemusic #spaceambient #newage #psybient #synthmusic #newagemusic #peacefulmusic #chillmusic #relaxationmusic #forestandbird #earthday #conservation #environment

Tui are known for their incredible vocal abilities. They have a diverse range of calls, including melodic songs, clicks, grunts, and wheezes. Tui are adept mimics and can imitate a wide variety of sounds, including other bird species, car alarms, and even human speech. Their complex vocalisations are an integral part of New Zealand's natural soundscape. A great example of this is Woof Woof the talking Tui (give him a google). Tui are agile flyers, capable of rapid and acrobatic maneuvers. They often dart and twist through the forest canopy or perform aerial displays during courtship and territorial defence. It's not uncommon to hear them whoosh past you in the forrest without seeing them. Tūī | Tui | Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae New Zealand status: Endemic Conservation status: Not Threatened

Changes to the boundary of the Golden Hills Strip hunting block mean that the old log bridge over the Taru-a-rau river downhill of the hut is no longer available to use. The nearest crossing point is now located upstream of Te Tohunga airstrip Everybody staying at the Golden Hills Strip Hut should familiarise themselves with the updated boundary before heading off to explore the surrounding area Owhaoko Whenua https://t.me/owhaoko #aotearoa #cabin #chur #environment #fishing #forestandbird #hiking #hikoi #hunting #kai #kaitiaki #maori #nature #nz #outdoors #owhaoko #whenua

New Zealand fantail | Pīwakawaka - Did you know? The fantail is one of the few native bird species in New Zealand that has been able to adapt to an environment greatly altered by humans. ——————————————————— Shot With @nikonnz Nikon Z8 - Nikon 200-400mm ——————————————————— S:1/1250 A:4 ISO:1600 ——————————————————— New Zealand Status: Endemic Conservation Status: Not Threatened The fantail is one of New Zealand’s best known birds, with its distinctive fanned tail and loud song, and particularly because it often approaches within a metre or two of people. Its wide distribution and habitat preferences, including frequenting well-treed urban parks and gardens, means that most people encounter fantails occasionally. They can be quite confiding, continuing to nest build or visit their nestlings with food when people watch quietly. There are two colour forms or ‘morphs’ of fantail, with the more common pied morph occurring throughout its range, and the black morph comprising up to 5% of the South Island population, and occasionally occurring in the North Island. ————————————————— Text Sourced From: NZBirdsOnline ————————————————— @nikonnz #nikon #nikonnz #newzealand #forestandbird @forestandbird #predatorfreenz @predatorfreenz #nzgeo @nzgeo #newzealandbirds @bird_freaks @bestbirdshots @bird_brilliance #raw_allnature #raw_newzealand #raw_wildlife @raw_australia_nz @pestfreetoken

📢 Call to action! 📢 The government’s Fast Track Bill would give unprecedented power to 3 Ministers to basically do whatever they (or their lobbyists) want with our natural environments - no input from the public required!😵‍💫 We need to oppose it before it becomes law, by 19 April. 📜⚖️ Action: Sign @forestandbird's petition to reject the Fast Track Bill and write a submission using our guide. ✍️ You can find the guide and petition via the link in our bio or visit climateclubnz.substack.com for more info! #fasttrackbill #FTB #forestandbird #NZclimateaction #NZclimate

Kleiner Geheimtipp in den Catlins. Tautuku Forest Cabins von @forestandbird - mit dem Auto erreichbar, mitten in der Natur und sehr erschwinglich! In unserem Quartalsbericht sprechen Chris und ich über die Höhepunkte der letzten drei Monate. Diese Hütte war einer davon. Fahren wir noch mal hin und nehmen noch mehr Vogelgeräusche auf. Chris hat in dieser Hütte seinen Geburtstag gefeiert - wie es ihm seitdem geht, erzählt er auch in der neuen Folge. #forestandbird #neuseeland #reise #südinsel

Photographed this wee fellow a few weeks back in Foxton and by now I'd expect it's back in Alaska. The flight from Alaska to New Zealand, which the birds undertake during their southward migration, typically takes longer due to prevailing headwinds. It can take anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks for godwits to complete this journey. #godwit #bartailedgodwit #foxton #birdsofaotearoa #nz #forestandbird #migratorybird #birdsoftheworld
