Late last year (Xmas perhaps?) Inga gave us some complimentary passes to the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, and seeing as it was a nice day on Saturday, we decided to spend it there.
I took the camera for a walk, and over the next four hours that we spent wandering around the upper reaches of the reserve, I took some VERY bad pictures of Saddlebacks, Stitchbirds, Tui, Bellbirds etc.
I strongly recommend it, particularly to take the circuit around the upper Lake. It's not that arduous, and only a little muddy after rain, but the ability to get reeeeaaal close to the birdlife is spectacular, considering you are basically still in the middle of the city.At one stage a robin was poking around the path within a metre of my foot. At least these snaps are presentable ...
