So early in the morning we left Picton and headed out along Queen Charlotte Sound, getting the general tour and occasionally stopping to look at whatever we found. Marlborough Sounds has a pretty special endemic, the King Shag , a species that isn’t just endemic to New Zealand but endemic to just the Sounds.

The smellier the better, particularly as, unusually for birds, many species can boast a robust sense of smell. In any case, our hang-ups with vultures clearly stem from our own issues rather than any inherently bizarre trait of the species themselves. Vultures famously feed on carrion. Dead things. New World Vultures.

Our next stop, Havelock was one I had been looking forward to, as it has a huge estuary, with a large number of species that could be found here. I added the Australasian Shoveler finally, along with 22 other species that have already made the list. Not a great image of the Shovelers, but they were a very long ways away!
