We have a friend from Europe staying for a couple of weeks, and have been busy showing him around natural parts of our district. Yesterday we went walking in the brilliant winter sunshine, and found lots of native plants and birds along the way, including a beautiful yellow bellbird gorging itself on kowhai nectar, and a piwakawaka showing off for our cameras. My sketchbook of future embroidery ideas is starting to fill up.
