New Zealand Days 1 & 2 Pictures page 1 of 3

My new convertible shoe! When I arrived in New Zealand, I was taken aside by biological security due to all the seeds and plant material stuck in my shoes from rogaining in Australia. It turns out cutting out the tongue was the best option and there you have it. My first real locals encounter :) That night I stayed in Hamilton Sunset over Hamilton Hamilton Rolling fields and hedge wall Green! Otorohanga I stopped in Otorohanga for a quick little walk and to see the Otorohanga Kiwi House The Kiwi House had a large array of birds This is the Kārearea, or New Zealand Falcon The Morepork, New Zealand's only surviving native owl Hoot. The Kāhu, or Australasian harrier, is a master scavenger This regal bird is also known as a Swamp Harrier Parera, the grey duck The Kea, native to the south island Along with these birds, I got to see a couple Kiwi as well, but they are noctural so they are in an inside inhabitat and no photography is allowed.
