Mel's place

Today I visited Mel on my way home from work. I had my camera in the car and the sun was shining so I was hoping there would be some tuis in the trees at the back of her house. She teases me constantly about the birds that are flying about her while I am at work and unable to photograph them.

She lives way up high on the side of a bush covered hill. Her deck overlooks the canopy of the bush with a berry covered tree almost touching it. Daily she looks out over at tuis, waxeyes and kereru. As someone who loves to photograph native birdlife I am very envious of her. That said I am not a hill type of gal and probably wouldn't be able to live on the edge of the hill like Mel does.

I was totally stoked when I looked at my photos this evening, I didn't think I had anything worth keeping but it was quite the opposite. I managed to capture some really cool shots of the birds. I am so definitely going back.
