The sun was shining and the Hihi birds were singing!

The sun was shining and the Hihi birds were singing!

 

We had a fantastic trip to Tiritiri Matangi last week.

The stunning weather enabled us to see some beautiful New Zealand birds.

 

Our highlight was seeing the Hihi – we were thrilled to spot both a male and female Hihi!

 

We also saw three Wetapunga.  This stunning insect can grow as big as 10cm in body length – Mrs McLeish was pleased that the one we saw wasn’t as big as that!

 

We absolutely appreciated the expertise of Tiritiri Matangi guides and we also want to send out a big THANK YOU to all of our helpers!  We couldn’t do it without your support!

 

I know that I can’t wait until our next visit!
