Fantail Fun

One of my favourite little birds in New Zealand must be the  busy inquisitive and ever so friendly fantail.  The garden and bush surrounding my parents property were full of them and they were regular visitors around the house.  Capturing their antics is not easy though as they are always on the go!  Here are just a few of my attempts. 

Kerikeri - Fairy & Rainbow Falls

As mentioned before. one of my favourite places in New Zealand is Kerikeri and I always enjoy the walk from the Kerikeri Basin through the bush to Fairy and Rainbow Falls.  

Fairy Falls.

It is just so tranquil

Listening to the water running over the rocks.

Loved the shape of this - reminded us of a face... the keeper of the trees.

Rainbow Falls.

I think I have shown this photo in my 'highlights' the other week,, but loved the way the light shone through this fungi growing on the tree.

Of course the New Zealand bush is never complete without lovely little fantails flitting around.

To Catch a Fantail

On film, is difficult to say the least!  These gorgeous inquisitive little birds never keep still....  

Here are a few of my attempts.  The first three were taken in a bush walk in Kerikeri, the last ones were taken on my Mum & Dad's property.
