>>2549325Thanks bro
I don't deserve that much credit, the bird speaks for itself
It's a tūī, endemic (I think) to NZ
They're fairly common and easy to photograph because they feed on nectar so they'll pick a plant and hop from flower to flower to feed unbothered by your presence (pic rel)
Their song is also amazing I have a few recordings but I invite you to just look it up on youtube
Apologies if you are the kiwi anon and already knew all that lmao
>>2549329That's Otago, NZ. Central South Island, on the dry side of the mountains. The whole area is pretty empty but this spot is 10 minutes away from a small town so I'm not in the boonies
Nah I wasn't fishing, so hopefully you can feel better lol. Just where I spent the night in my campervan
Illinois itself seems fucked when it comes to going /out/ but the surrounding states look like they have good greenery, can't you go there?
I'll admit it's not next door, the USA are just fucking huge
