Nice. Like the Kakapo shot. Googled that bird and came across this video of it:

Celebrating here as a couple of kakapo chicks have just been born, up to 123 now I think.

I've watched David Attenborough's documentaries about the kakapo (The Life of Birds) but never as hilarious as THIS one! :biggrin:

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing with us.

The kakapo is great - but a Marvelous Spatuletail bird! First for me!!!!!!!

Great links, both the youtube link and the original link.

My favorite of all has to be the Kakapo. These are all stunning and bring to light how fragile the eco system is and how it impacts the wildlife. I hope the Kakapo make a comeback.

Can't see them ever making a full comeback as they're flightless, like the kiwi. Now we have dogs, cats, weasels, stoats they don't stand much of a chance in an unprotected environment.
