At Pauatahanui Inlet we stopped to investigate the bird hide. I'd driven past many times and had often thought about stopping, but something always seemed more urgent. This time, with no hurry to get back to the valley, the temptation was too much. It proved worthwhile, with good views of pied stilts, grey teal, and several other kinds of waterbirds.

Ah, yes, much better. Bird working methodically, serene intensity.
Thanks Zhoen. These birds were working exactly how you describe. On the go constantly, making sure they snapped up every opportunity for a morsel.
Oh, a perfect moment. And such amazing colours!
Lisa, because these are difficult to get close to, it's hard to get a chance to appreciate those colours.
