  1. Umbrella mosses and lichens in lush greens and purples on the forest floor on (edit: Ulva Island, not) Stewart Island Rakiura.

    Some of those mosses look a bit like tarantulas, but I promise they're not. I would've been running away rather than taking photos otherwise...

  3. We had some time on beautiful Stewart Island, Rakiura, earlier this week. The Oban harbour at Halfmoon Bay hosts a number of seabirds, including albatrosses, muttonbirds (Shearwaters), and terns.

    I managed to get some shots of this albatross (White-capped, I think) as it ran along the water as part of its take-off.

  4. Hype for the Future 79P: Stewart Island 🇳🇿

    Overview Located to the south of the “South Island” of New Zealand, Stewart Island is a significant rural island with the principal settlement located at Oban along Halfmoon Bay. The community continues to stretch along a peninsula to Paterson Inlet, and the ferry and aviation connections also exist to the South Island mainland of New Zealand. The ferry service is to Bluff, while the aircraft connections are to Invercargill slightly further inland.

  5. Walk from Mason Bay to Freshwater Landing. Starts with a big dune system then a vast peat bog. Lots of board walks. Interesting environment. Also easy and flat all the way.

  6. Rakiura/Stewart Island weka taking an interest in my pack. They don't have the slightest fear of humans and lots of curiosity. When we dozed off in the sun one of them settled in next to us for a sleep. Just hanging out with the hoomans.

  7. Kia ora! #Introduction: #moving here from @mastodon.social because it's bigger than its organisers want (over 900,000 users) and I can't keep up with its local #timeline. A #NewZealand-based #instance is the obvious #MoveAccount choice: my #parents and I were all born here and my #OE doesn't extend even as far as #StewartIsland or #KapitiIsland). I'm an administrator on newzealand.fandom.com - one of #Fandom's fairly quiet #Wikis. #chess #civilization #freeciv #Forest&Bird #UNICEF #genealogy
