The fields are greener with stacks of hays waiting to be collected. The sheeps are probably 'naked'. Temperature is a cool 20 degrees. For birds, the albatross chicks probably just hatched so cant get any good shots and weather at the Otago was very bad when i went, its hazy and visiblity was bad for the 3days i was there. Kaikoura was very good when i was there, can shoot white fronted terns real close, if you go on birding out in the sea, you can get the other species of albatross and petrels real close.   Oct-Nov : colder at 5-15degrees. I experienced more hazy days. The fields are drier, sheeps are in thick woolen coat.  The albatross just came back to nest, lots of flying, the stewart island shags, little shags, pied shags, spotted shags and reb bills gull will also be nesting. Lots of opportunities to shoot nests and chicks at Otago. A lot of raptors(NZ falcons and Australiasian falcons) sighted in the fields as well. The Spur winged Plovers will be nesting at most of the fields as well. If you are lucky can see the chicks running about. They are 1 pair in almost every field.   I will post the Spotted shags nests later     Generally, NZ is good all yr round.. lots of photographic opportunities be it landscape or birds   « Last Edit: Jan 24th, 2006, 8:59pm by Jz » Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I => Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
