Good lunch spot

I've lived in this house about 7 years and I still can't get over this being our view when we're 15 mins walk from the CBD

Working from Dad’s place over the Xmas period. Hopefully to head to the forest during my handful of days off for more birdwatching!

An attempted seduction #birds #nzbirds

Ended up right in the middle of Ceecee the titipounamu's little family this evening. #birds #nzbirds
