Hey babe, would you like me to fluff myself up and bob up and down for you?
I saw this pair of kererū in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens yesterday. It looks like love is in the air.

Here are two birds from my day, a kererū in a tree at home and a korimako feeding on whaupaku flowers at work.
Also, I found what appears to be the first palm seedling seen in Lincoln, an offspring of a planted Chusan Palm, Trachycarpus fortunei, which naturalises freely further north in NZ.
All added to #iNaturalist:

I found a tūī in Victoria Park this afternoon!
These birds are still rare around Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, so finding one is always a treat.
It put on a grand concert for me too. Have a listen.

On Sunday 26 April, I'll be leading another nature walk in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, this time from the Sign of the Takahe to the Botanic Gardens. That's part of the four-day City Nature Challenge.
It's a terrific walk designed to take us through many of the city's nature filled nooks and crannies.
Again, all welcome. We leave from the Sign of the Takahe (by the bus stop for the No 1 Cashmere bus) at 9:45 am.
If you don't have the time to commit to the full walk, you can join us for the first part walking to the South Library, or from the South Library to the Art Gallery, or for the final stint from the Art Gallery to the Botanic Gardens.
Below are some photos from the previous two years we've done this walk.

If you're in Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ, next Sunday, and are keen for a nature walk, well, you're in luck!
As part of the city's annual Walking Festival, Noah Fenwick and I will be leading a walk/explore around Waikākāriki Horseshoe Lake. We're two local iNaturalist fanatics and ecologists and are keen to see what we can find around this restored city wetland.
The walk starts at 10 am and will go for about three hours.
All welcome!

It's that time again in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, when the fruit on the te kouka cabbage trees are at peak ripeness. That brings in the kererū to parts of the city.
Here are some of my photos of kererū eating te kouka fruit in the city from this long weekend. It includes what I think is the first time I've seen a kererū on Rose Street (that's on one of my fortnightly survey routes, which I've run since 2008).

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.

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.
