I have once more been a bad blogger. Ian requested a new post the other day, so here it is. I have not been so motivated to blog cos i have not shot of any really cool photos recently.

This is a photo of a New Zealand Robin. This is the most common of the NZ Robins the is also a really rear one that was for a while the most endangered bird in the world.

I have been spending quite a bit of my free time in the bush chasing deer. I have not always been in the mood to shoot one but it is very cool trying to get up close enough for a photo. Getting a photo of a deer is much harder than actually shooting one. It is very cool sneaking around in the dense bush. You notice way more things than you usually see when you are hiking on the bush tracks.

In the last few weeks i have been out in the bush 3 times and have seen deer every time and have managed to get quite close to some. I shot one a couple of weeks ago that i managed to get withing 10m of. If i had had my camera out of my bag i would have taken a photo instead.
Last Friday I went into the bush with a friend from work. We found where a stag has been setting up shop for the roar. The stags should start roaring in a few weeks so we plan to go back and see if we can roar him up a bit.

Winter is on the way so things are getting a bit quieter at work. I promise to try and get some nice photos for my next post.

Hugs to all
