Korimako

Korimako

Photo by Vandy Pollard

Super exciting to photograph this male Korimako or Bellbird in a friends garden yesterday morning as they are quite rare in Wellington. It’s part of a pair which is extra special as neither are banded. Until 2001 Korimako were considered extinct locally until being reintroduced to Zealandia Ecosanctuary. 1/320 f2.8 iso 650 70-200 mm cropped.
