Mother Manu pango (#Turdus merula) black bird is off the nest. Looks like she’s been spitting the cherry pips right be the nest! What a mess!

A cute and friendly endangered tuna (#Anguilla dieffenbachii) New Zealand Longfin Eel sunbathing in a mountain river in the Kaimai ranges. Fellow trapper spotted this one as we were crossing the river.

Slightly better photo of the Manu pango (#Turdus merula) blackbird sitting on its nest in the topiary. Hard to overstate just how absolutely still it is when I’m doing gardening nearby and then come in close to get a photo of her.
