A cool, sunny day
The day is pretty much totally
consumed with getting over to the airport in Sydney and flying over to
Auckland, New Zealand. I did manage
to get out to the local park across the street and found a gorgeous Rainbow
lorikeet high in the canopy….too high to get me a shot, however.
My only other birds in the 15
minute walk around the park before we needed to board the bus for the airport
were the expected Common myna and the nesting Australian white ibises.
Once we were in the air, I
grabbed a few shots of our home for the past 11 days, Australia. We were fortunate to have great weather
for our entire tour of this magnificent country, but now we look forward to be
introduced to yet another magical land, New Zealand.
As we approach the land of the
kiwis, the stark difference in the two countries is immediately apparent. This land is rich and green, unlike the
dry desolation of much of Australia.
The city of Auckland is also much smaller and nowhere near as busy as
Sydney or Melbourne. It will be
quite a change to get into the green wet lands of New Zealand as we head out to
the countryside tomorrow morning.
Looking forward to new lands and new birds!
