I was running down off the hills this afternoon as part of my monthly biodiversity survey of this Port Hills route. I was carrying cameras and a monocular and a wind-shielded microphone plugged into my phone.
A couple of young guys biked up the hill on their mountain bikes.
"Capturing the birds?" one of them asked, curiously.
"Yeah!" I replied.
"Premium," he nodded.
There wasn't time to explain that I was capturing more than bird observations. Still, here are two of my afternoon's "premium" bird observations.

How to unexpectedly acquire a chicken in 6 easy steps:
1) Go to a remote forest reserve in the hills where you've never seen a chicken before. Find a chicken waiting for you there.
2) Offer the chicken food. (I had an old, unopened muesli bar in my backpack that did the trick.)
3) Feed the chicken some of the food by the car.
4) Slowly open the car door, and put some of the food inside the car. Provide a step up into the car for the chicken. (If the chicken is suspicious of the backpack you first use as a step, swap that out for something the chicken recognises, like a nearby brick.)
5) Wait patiently for the chicken to hop up into the car.
6) Close the car door. Drive home with the chicken.

Today was a fluffy cloud day over Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ.
Later in the afternoon, all the fluffy clouds got together and rained on some of us. That included me while I was out for run but it was warm and scenic so I was happy.
