Kea Images

Kea are a wonderful bird, well known to be one of the most intelligent parrots in the world.  I have longed to rival some of the formidable images that have been produced by the remarkable photographers of New Zealand's birds.

A while ago I was asked why I enjoy photographing birds and my response was that I enjoy the challenge.  Such a dynamic subject choice, each with a mind of its own and so many different angles to capture while accounting for poor light, inclement weather, harsh terrain, and so the list goes on.

Here are a few of the better images from a recent trip into Arthur's Pass National Park, shot on a Canon 650D.
