We did the trip backwards, so this time they were our farewell from this wild realm. #birdventurenz #thebrillianceofbirds #nzbirds #your_best_birds #conservationphotography #conservationphotographer #nuts_about_birds #bird_brilliance #birds_adored @docgovtnz @forestandbird @nz_birds @nikonnz #nikond500 #nikon #birdphotography #feathered_perfection #aotearoa #subantarctic #seabird #penguin #penguinstagram #extinctionisforever #endangeredspecies #bird_lovers_daily #bird_lovers #nature_brilliance #eathcaptures #wilderness #explore #adventure #fieldbiology #fieldbiologist https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Z0SLxJBtf/?igshid=byhhs67fc34b
