Summary[edit]

Description

Wandering through Bushy Park and it clouded over and started to rain and got very dark. Inspired by Dan Dirks, I bumped up the ISO and managed to capture this friendly fantail (piwakawaka). Processed and denoised in Capture One only. Obviously would prefer more light but hey!

"The fantail is one of New Zealand’s best known birds, with its distinctive fanned tail and loud song, and particularly because it often approaches within a metre or two of people. Its wide distribution and habitat preferences, including frequenting well-treed urban parks and gardens, means that most people encounter fantails occasionally. They can be quite confiding, continuing to nest build or visit their nestlings with food when people watch quietly. There are two colour forms or ‘morphs’ of fantail, with the more common pied morph occurring throughout its range, and the black morph comprising up to 5% of the South Island population, and occasionally occurring in the North Island." <a href="https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/new-zealand-fantail" rel="noreferrer nofollow">nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/new-zealand-fantail</a>
