Titirangi Beach is just down the hill from me. From time to time I like to take my long lens and go spy on the birdlife. I don’t think I’ve run into one of these before. There were three of them there, happily feasting on our local delicacies. However, they were insistent on presenting their hind quarters – and the closer I got, the less they would cooperate. A little myopic, but lovely little sea birds.

A lovely little bird, indeed. I love how vibrant and oversized his/her beak is. Perfect for snatching up the sea delicacies. Nature is grand!

Amazing that these little guys can do what they do to feast and flourish!

And they do feast and flourish! I did a wee bit of reading on them for this post and learned that on the endangered species list in NZ – they are of “Least Concern!” I really like that…
