Nga Manu Reserve

Today we went back to the Nga Manu reserve. The morning starting with an hour drive to the reserve. The weather the whole day today has been overcast with occasional drizzle. The drizzle did not help much in clearing the humidity.

Today we split up into 2 groups. The one group carried on with the mulching of trees and the 2nd group helped with getting gravel on the path and getting it compacted. I helped in the 2nd group. It was not a very active day today, and it seemed many were tired from yesterdays walk of 7 hours.

Nothing exciting really happened today and seeing the weather was not that great I could not see many birds either. In the aviary we did get the parrots to sit on our shoulder. The parrot went around each one of us.

The Tui bird, national bird of NZ. It has some amazing sounds that it makes due to its 2 soundcords.

Ha Domi,
Wat ben je in godsnaam aan het rollen daar?? Met die ervaring kun je hier in Nederland flink aan de bak met al dat asfalt.
Maar zonder gekheid, 't ziet er buiten het zwoegen wel weer geweldig uit op alle plaatjes. En lekker weer...aagghhh. Wat doe ik hier. Okee het was vandaag en gisteren wel erg lekker weer bij ons, maar ik heb weer eens bronchitis dus kan er niet echt van genieten. Verder alles redelijk onder controle, maar 't best pittig met 2 van die kleine mannen. Met die babypraat zal ik je nu niet lastig vallen. Geniet maar lekker van je vrijheid! Ik geniet van jou plaatjes! Tot later, dikke zoen Jet
