| Description |
Saw this Ruru (Morepork) when walking the Sledge Track Today. Unfortunately I only had the 24-105mm lens and this is the closest I could get. First time I've ever seen one. The thing that amazed me is that when it flew away through the bush it was completely silent. "The morepork is a small, dark, forest-dwelling owl. Found in both native and plantation forests, its distinctive “more-pork” call is commonly heard at night in many urban parks and well-vegetated suburbs. Moreporks are relatively common throughout much of New Zealand but are sparse through the eastern and central South Island. Their diet consists of insects, small mammals and birds, which it hunts at night." <a href="https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/morepork" rel="noreferrer nofollow">nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/morepork</a> |
