My favourite thing to do in a forest is lie down and look up! The southern rātā on Auckland island is moulded by the wind into a very even canopy. It’s beautiful in the evening light. #subantarctic #aotearoa #nikonnz #forest #subantarcticislands #heritageexpeditions #aucklandislands #canopy #trees #adventure #wilderness #wildsouth #goldenhour #subantarcticnz #subantarcticadventure @heritageexpeditions #wildnz #crownshyness #naturephotography #nature_perfection #discoverearth #ignature #capturethewild #keepitwild #wildernessculture https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ksOc-pM7I/?igshid=1488i9mufnf1m

Here's some lush subantarctic mega-herbage for your Friday! I love the flora down there just as much as the birds ⁠ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #subantarctic #subantarcticislands #heritageexpeditions #campbellisland #subantarcticadventure #wildsouth #wanderwonder #adventureisoutthere #wildernessculture #isolation #landscapephotography #lush #flora #wilderness #aotearoa #newzealand #nikonnz #nikond500 #naturelovers #gardens #botanical #roaringforties #discovernz #aotearoa #newzealand https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvxlQwpofr/?igshid=1pub8idub7h22

Subantarctic scenes from the Auckland islands... I love the way the light lances through constantly moving clouds, revealing different parts of the landscape. #subantarctic #subantarcticislands #heritageexpeditions #aucklandisland #subantarcticadventure #wildsouth #wanderwonder #adventureisoutthere #wildernessculture #isolation #landscapephotography #gold #moody #misty #mountains #wilderness #aotearoa #newzealand #nikonnz #nikond500 #naturelovers https://www.instagram.com/p/B-dDIyppz-g/?igshid=n8076zo50j1s

I'm off to sea for a week - beyond the reach of the internet. I can't wait to return to the southern ocean and Aotearoa's subantarctic islands with a stellar group of expeditioners. Here's to fair winds and albatross all around! ⁠⠀ @heritageexpeditions ⁠⠀ #adventure #southernocean #wild #travel #wilderness #ocean #expedition #ship #storm #stormyseas #subantarctic #adventureforever #newzealand #aotearoa #purenz #birdventurenz #heritageexpeditions #subantarcticadventure #explorenz #nzmustsee #expeditionguide #guidelife #subantarcticnz #waves #adventure #explore #wildernessculture #south #wildsouth #wanderwonder #wildnz https://www.instagram.com/p/B61DmdLJx2E/?igshid=1dvfxkev4wkaz

Auckland island shags are truly gorgeous birds in their breeding colours. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Enderby Island | 2015⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #birdventurenz #seabird #subantarctic #subantarcticadventure #raw_birds #your_best_birds #portrait_perfection #shag #shagadelic #birds_brilliance #birds_adored #aotearoa #newzealand #nzbirds #nzwildlife #subantarcticnz #heritageexpeditions https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwpxsz6hZAl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oytavfxcqnrv

Cape petrels are such pretty birds. Here’s one on an unusually mirror-calm day at the Snares islands. ⠀ ⠀ #birdventurenz #subantarctic #subantarcticadventure #nzsubantarctic #heritageexpeditions #seabird #petrel #your_best_birds #best_bird_shots #raw_birds #ig_discover_birdslife #south #wildnz #nzbirds #aotearoa #newzealand #snares #best_birds_of_ig #birdstagram #nuts_about_birds #bird_brilliance #birdphotography #wildlifeofnz #instabird #bb_of_ig #pocket_birds #birds_of_instagram #seabirdstory #megaherb #wilderness⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2Manahv-Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3g60yfzgd1gm

Squabbling skuas, Enderby Island. ⁣⠀ Enderby Island is home to a big colony of New Zealand sea lions, and this also makes it a magnet for piratical subantarctic skuas, who hover with an eye out for tasty placenta, or pups that didn't make it. They're the vultures of the deep south, cleaning up carcasses with their large hooked bills, and scrapping over who gets the first pickings.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #birdventurenz #subantarctic #subantarcticadventure #nzsubantarctic #heritageexpeditions #seabird #skua #your_best_birds #best_bird_shots #raw_birds #ig_discover_birdslife #south #wildnz #nzbirds #aotearoa #newzealand #aucklandislands #best_birds_of_ig #birdstagram #nuts_about_birds #bird_brilliance #birdphotography #wildlifeofnz #instabird #bb_of_ig #pocket_birds #birds_of_instagram #seabirdstory #sealion #wilderness https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvzl4iNgwjt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19cipx506s2d6

Quirky birds and megaherbs - New Zealand's subantarctic islands have it all! I've been picking through some photos from past adventures, and I have probably posted this one before but I love it enough to share it again. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Southern Royal Albatross skimming fields of Anisotome latifolia (aka Campbell Island carrot) on Enderby Island, Auckland Islands. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #birdventurenz #subantarctic #subantarcticadventure #nzsubantarctic #heritageexpeditions #seabird #albatross #your_best_birds #best_bird_shots #raw_birds #ig_discover_birdslife #south #wildnz #nzbirds #aotearoa #newzealand #aucklandislands #best_birds_of_ig #birdstagram #nuts_about_birds #bird_brilliance #birdphotography #wildlifeofnz #instabird #bb_of_ig #pocket_birds #birds_of_instagram #seabirdstory #megaherb #wilderness https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvwx7vegCu_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5s4cp5kn7g7z
