These small 40ish grams parakeets live in alpine beech forest of Te Waipounamu / the South Island of New Zealand. Conservation efforts led by DOC and Ngāi Tahu focus on predator control, nest protection, and translocation to predator-free sites made possible by a captive breeding program.

Their latin name come from their slighly blue beak (cyano ramphus)

Tern and snow ? How a seabird can be that close to mountains?

Tarapirohe or black fronted tern is a « freshwater » tern! Breeding and mainly found around the braided river of the South Island. And braided rivers are often found at the foot of mountains.

This specie is Nationally endangered and a lot of efforts are made to increase their breeding success. Predators including hedgehog, cats, stoat or black backed gulls are attacking these birds (or their eggs) while they are on the ground to nest.

Tītipounamou - squeaky greenstone.
A beautiful and minuscule bird (smallest of Aotearoa). Barely 6g. Quite common, their size and their calls so high pitch that a lot of people can’t hear them make them actually very hard to find. Their little wings do not allow them to fly very well so you will more likely finding them hoping along trunks where they look for their food.

The babies of the previous picture are doing well. A little more than a week old now! So nice to be able to see them growing everyday.

Compare to the dotterels, babies oystercatcher are way less autonomous, they mainly rely on their parent to bring food. Here is mom or dad, dropping a little worm for them.

If you have ever been attacked by an oystercatcher on the beach raise your hand 🙋‍♂️

These fierce parents will attack people without hesitation if you are to close of their chicks or nests. Best to avoid them as it creates a lot of stress for them and can end up with few bruise for you !

These cute little floofs are 2/3 days old.
