Looks like Mars, Biobbs!

If the skua weren't the obvious bird for our times, I'd settle for the kotare/kingfisher... (this one flew into the kitchen window and knocked itself out).

So many worthy birds but had to vote for the Karearea
Thanks, and welcome bsd1 (I'm not trying to guess what that means). Wonderful shot.
Some great early contenders here from David, Biobbs and Gareth too. Keep 'em coming.

"Did someone mention Birds ?"

Mollymawk - should be on the list, because they're everywhere round the South Island

Another reminder of why the skua should be bird of the year...

Among many wonderful pictures, this one is extraordinary.

They were diving under our boat (outer Sounds, last Feb). I love the distorted clarity of the thing, if you see what I mean...

I'm Team Kereru. It's always great to see pairs of them around Dunedin, weighing down overhead cables. Maybe I have an affinity for the overweight and sluggish.

Kereru can stretch if they want to (this is the same one as in the earlier photo)

There are a lot of them about Dunedin, I always have trouble thinking they are uncommon in other centres. This is probably my definitive Dunedin Kereru in Kowhai picture

While not a great photo, this is the best picture I have ever gotten of a Piwakawaka in flight

And a Tui glamour shot

There was a kea in our library yesterday.

Beautiful plumage.

Brilliant.
Finally a proper kea to eclipse Kuki, the abominable Sesqui 1990 avian sasquatch or 'mascot'. Despite being described in its promo pack at the time as 'fun-loving' and 'cheeky', Kuki was the soulless spawn of consultants and event managers. Instructions for licensed operators of the Kuki costume stipulated that children must never see the kea impersonator partially suited. Presumably doing so would lead to one's kea license being revoked.True to the lingering Sesqui curse, Kuki items on TradeMe never sell.
-
Nice one Joe!
I bet Kuki wasn't allowed to do this ... -
I should say too the photos came from a performance by Craig Smith at Central Library Tuam yesterday. He was awesome. His kea sidekick was named Kaha. More pics here.
