Common birds of New Zealand
I visited New Zealand on 7-15 Nov and got some record photos of common bird to share. Please don’t mind the poor quality of the picks. ^_^

Really nice shots of some great birds from a lovely country.
Maybe arguably just three are actually NZ birds, the two others being part of the sad mass of introduced species.
Btw the final bird is not a Common Starling, but a European Blackbird.

Hi Mike thanks for your correction. I find the bird’s bill color looks difference to the Blackbird, maybe it’s a juvenile. Actually, there’s really lot of Blackbird and Song Thrush around in NZ. I enclose more photos to share. Please kindly comment if my identification is wrong.
