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

It’s easy to launch when there are winds racing up the cliffs! Just open your wings and go... Today I’m winging my way to the Chathams to help out with a seabird translocation project! I’m gone for around ten days, with no phone and no internet. Enjoy these beautiful light-mantled albatross while I’m gone.

There’s a mixture of power and panic in the way penguins exit the water, launching themselves through the surface to land on kelp-cushioned rocks.

I love the subtle iridescence that Auckland island shags have, which turns their black feathers blue and purple in some lights. ⠀ ⠀ Enderby Island⠀ ⠀ #birdventurenz #subantarctic #newzealand @heritage_expeditions #birdventure #aotearoa #newzealand #seabird #albatross #seabirdstory #seabirdbiologist #biologistlife #wildsouth #your_best_birds #nuts_about_birds #kings_birds #nzbirds #wildnz #subantarcticadventure #expeditionguide #wilderness #adventure #crackingshag #shagadelic #bird_lovers_daily #wanderwonder https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Ew33MJG4O/?igshid=13rrv0419tam0

Southern royal albatrosses are like clouds that have decided to tuck themselves into the tussock, sheltered from the wind. ⠀ Campbell island ⠀ #birdventurenz #subantarctic #expeditionguide #newzealand #birdventure #aotearoa #newzealand #seabird #albatross #seabirdstory #seabirdbiologist #biologistlife #wildsouth #your_best_birds #nuts_about_birds #kings_birds #nzbirds #wildnz #subantarcticadventure #ocean #nikonnz #nikond500 #seabirdscience #wilderness #adventure #bird_lovers_daily #wanderwonder https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wshaXpeEH/?igshid=lijylto5m2nr

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

I'm back from the domain of albatrosses and penguins, that wildest of oceans down south. There's no rest for me as I'm straight back into fieldwork, but I hope to share some stories soon! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ White-capped albatross⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #birdventurenz #southernocean #subantarctic @heritage_expeditions #birdventure #aotearoa #newzealand #seabird #albatross #seabirdstory #waves #ocean #wildsouth #your_best_birds #nuts_about_birds #kings_birds #nzbirds #wildnz #subantarcticadventure #expeditionguide #wilderness #adventure https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MVWfIJ1y1/?igshid=yueowotojhpt
