Anna's Pick - Photographer Anna Sephton (featured Anna's Pick - Photographer Anna Sephton (featured in previous post) has made her pick - with one of her gorgeous pics - for bird of the year. What do you think? Do you have a favourite bird? Thanks Anna and @up.with.the.birds.nz 💙 #kōkako #birdoftheyear2026 @forestandbird
Introducing one of our fabulous members who has be Introducing one of our fabulous members who has been helping us with images of beautiful native birds for our website, publications and posts. We are so grateful to Anna Sephton for her generosity and talent, now let's go behind the camera with five fun questions! 1. What photography experience (with an animal/bird) was the most surprising? Last year I went to North Queensland and did a night tour at the Cairns Botanical Gardens, where I photographed spiders and frogs for the first time. The most surprising part was looking at the photos afterwards — suddenly you can see details that aren’t visible to the naked eye. It’s kind of mind‑blowing. 2. What is your go‑to snack on an expedition? Usually something I’ve baked, like cake or a cookie. If I haven’t baked, dried mango, roasted almonds, and dark chocolate are a winning combo. 3. Best photography trip so far? The Heritage Expeditions trip I did in 2023 to New Zealand’s subantarctic islands was absolutely incredible. Sitting in the tussock surrounded by Southern Royal albatrosses has to be one of the best days of my life. I also love life on board Heritage Adventurer — early mornings on deck with my camera, amazing meals, and meeting so many great people. Highly recommend! 4. Where would you love to go on a photo expedition? So many places! Macquarie Island, an Australian subantarctic island, is right at the top — thousands of penguins, seals, and albatrosses make it a photography paradise. In New Zealand, I’d love to photograph kea in the snow and the kōtuku colony on the west coast of the South Island. 5. Who will you be voting for in Bird of the Year this year? My friend Corinne and I run a bird club called Up With The Birds (find us on Instagram), and this year we’re campaigning for kōkako — so that’s my top vote.

OMG this is so amazing to see 👀💚 We thought these OMG this is so amazing to see 👀💚 We thought these pōhutukawa were dead. They are silver ghost trees, visible from the water along the coast, and when we put in traps through this area targeting possums two years ago, we didn't ever imagine they would be able to recover. Can you see these bursts of green leaves? They are coming back! It's just one tree so far, but... There's hope There's hope @nzautotraps check out the location we have some of your traps 😃 @ourwaikato thank you for your support and belief in this project. We are so thrilled 😄 #possumcontrol
We're overwhelmed with gratitude. Your donations t We're overwhelmed with gratitude. Your donations to help us with our vehicle woes over the past few months have really lifted our spirits. We appreciate everyone who is helping to keep us on the road and our boots on the ground! The Jenkins Foundation and The Diprose Miller Community Fund have got us underway, and with generous individual donors, we are getting closer. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏 (And to our lovely donors, if you need a tax receipt please message us!)
Ok so we don't often show the reality of pest cont Ok so we don't often show the reality of pest control. It means death for those animals that are running rampant in Aotearoa without any natural predators. We have to take on the job of a predator, and thanks to an amazing team effort, we are now able to put new traps into areas that are being stripped by possum browsing. A great result at trap checks today! Thanks for funding @ourwaikato and @powerco.nz for contributing to this vital work 💚
Save the Date - Sunday 13 September, 5pm Forest & Save the Date - Sunday 13 September, 5pm Forest & Bird's Elvisa van der Leden will share with us her exciting experiences with kororā, little blue penguins, including a citizen science project that inspired New Plymouth locals to care more for their shore. This engaging talk will also feature some fun videos highlighting different kororā projects. We look forward to welcoming Elvisa to town on Sunday 13 Sept at 5pm at the Pepper Tree Restaurant. Come enjoy a drink and a fascinating discussion! Koha welcome and we will also be drawing our winter raffle for an AT220. Last chance to buy tickets on the night. See you soon!
We've been fundraising for our beloved, untrusty t We've been fundraising for our beloved, untrusty trusty steed. We need a new vehicle to get all the jobs done... from delivering traps, plants, eggs (for bait), and helping at community events, for when there are tracks to cut and rat lines to service. We need something reliable on these rough roads in northern Coromandel. Thank you so much to Diprose Miller Community Fund for getting us started with a generous grant. If you can help us out with donations big or small we'd love you to get in touch, check out our website or follow the link in the comments. Thank you Team!! www.meg.org.nz
