The grim tweeter
Photo by Peter Laurenson
A native New Zealand Fantail, known to Māori as Pīwakaka. In Māori mythology the Fantail was responsible for the presence of death in the world. When you meet them on the trail their cute liveliness runs contrary to the myth. They were in abundance when I was in the Abel Tasman National Park, but as soon as I pulled out my zoom lens they darted about like maniacs - hard to photograph / \nNikon D750, F5.6, 1/640, ISO 1000, 450 mm\n
