Nature & Wildlife in the Garden in New Zealand

I spent quite a lot of time in the garden observing nature while in NZ.

Flora:



Pretty rose with a gorgeous scent.







Water lilies in the pond at my parents place.







Insects, Moths & Spiders:


Cicada casing.



Cicada







Praying Mantis



Monarch Butterfly



Northern Wattle Moth






Leopard slug seen one night on the wall.











Birds:


I was delighted to capture this little Wax Eye.




Wood Pigeon






A highlight was seeing the little Morepork that I heard calling each night.











Birds seen while out:





Of course the series of bird photos wouldn't be complete without the little fantail.



(Repeat photos of previous post - just because these are some of my most favourite little birds)

  1. So many delightful photos. I just love the cicada shots, so sharp. And the little Wax Eyes; they can be so hard to get a good shot of. I, for one, can never resist a fantail!
