two new zealand icons

this is a cheeky little pukeko. from my arrival i have seen them everywhere but every time i have tried to capture them in a photo they fly away... this one i got from quite a distance by pretending i wasn't taking a photo... their colors are really beautiful in person and these birds adorn many a new zealand knick-knack.




















this pohutukawa tree seems to have bloomed a little early - rumor is that the coromandel peninsula known for them, especially in the summer/christmas time when they are all in bloom.
