Autumn in the Park


While staying with Mum & Dad in Napier during Dad's recuperation from heart surgery I was able to pop in a couple of visits to nearby Anderson Park & it's multiple ponds where I had heard that there was a rare white heron ( Maori name- kotuku) in residence. Due to it being duck shooting season the ponds were afloat with great numbers & many species of water fowl.

Some of the hybrid ducks that live on the ponds.
I was lucky enough to find not one but two white herons (kotukus) resting near the ponds & I managed to get some great shots.
