This time of year the bird life out at Wenderholm regional park starts to spark into life. There is plenty of food coming on stream through the flowering vegetation such as the Kowhia and Bottle Brush. I initially went up to Wenderholm with the intention of shooting Tui feeding on a large flowering Kowhia tree in the main carpark. The Tui’s were a no show, but I was fortunate enough to find a pair of native wood pigeons or Kereru feeding on the Kowhia flowers. The pair had a pretty big appetite for the flowers eating them whole in one gulp, without much pause before tearing another flower from the tree. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to catch Tui feeding on the Kowhia flower nectar over the next couple of weeks.
