I've made a few tweaks to my photography website that make it more conducive to writing. I might start using it to say things from time to time when the mood takes me. To start with, here's a short piece about "talent". birds.photos/2025/10/09/9...

A pāpango (New Zealand scaup) who was kind enough to spray some water about in a nice patch of light for me this morning. Thanks little buddy! 🪶🇳🇿

Kōtuku ngutupapa (royal spoonbills) spooked by something this morning. I was in a good position and not distracted at the decisive moment for a refreshing change! 🪶🇳🇿

One of my favourites re-edited. A kuaka (bar-tailed godwit) fleeing a wave that I didn’t have the wherewithal to escape! I got a soaking right after this click. 🪶🇳🇿

This guy was looking particularly photogenic this afternoon. Couldn’t resist getting the camera out…

Why do I keep coming back to kakīānau (black swans)? One big reason is the endless number of shapes they make… 🪶🇳🇿

The @nzctu.bsky.social’s @melansellbridges.bsky.social at the Women’s Day of Action yesterday. The New Zealand government has cancelled $12.8 billion worth of pay equity claims for low paid women to fund tax cuts for landlords and tobacco companies.

Something from the archives? Why not! I took this tauhou (waxeye/silvereye) shot in November 2023 when the harakeke around my local stormwater catchment was out in bloom. It’s an image that marks the start of my adventures in low-key photography. 🪶🇳🇿

I have a folder on my laptop where I put RAW files that I’ve abandoned during editing because I don’t like how they are turning out. Occasionally when I need a little downtime I have a look to see if there’s anything in there worth having another crack at. This is a shot I took back in July. 🪶🇳🇿
