Penguins, Parrots and Wine on Matiu / Somes Island

10,000 Birds

As I have explained before these islands are the best place for a lot of the birding here because they are more easily protected from introduced mammals which wreck such havoc on the wildlife here. They are a common enough coastal bird that can been seen from shore on some days paddling around the marina, but a nice bird none-the-less.

Trinity Brewing: Le Capitaine Golden Saison Regal

10,000 Birds

I don’t know of any other association with birds beyond the label, so I’m inclined just to move on to the tasting notes because there’s a lot to cover in this one. Even the brewery’s spent grains, once shoveled out of the mash tun, are hauled off to a local farm as livestock feed. Good birding and happy drinking! __.
