When the Minister for Conservation, Eugenie Sage recently made a pre-budget announcement that an extra $81.3 million would be spent on pest eradication, she announced it standing between two large banners. I'm tickled pink to say that one of the photos used was mine; a cheeky kaka feeding on our native flax/harakeke flowers.
As many of you know, I regularly supply photos to DOC (Department of Conservation) for use as they see fit. It's my 'volunteer without gumboots' contribution to conservation in New Zealand- that link is to a past blog with some of my photos from the DOC website. If you click the DOC link above it you'll see the kaka photo is also on their front page at the moment.
I can just see my 'name in lights' here under the heading! My DOC contact sent me these photos yesterday.
Such a thrill to see your photo displayed at this important announcement. Many congratulations, you take such beautiful photos.
