This gallery contains a couple more images from the Kaikoura area, and then a selection of birds from the other areas we visited on the South Island of New Zealand. I also included a few birds I saw and shot in Fiji. By the time we hit Fiji, we were fairly exhausted from the constant travel, moving from hotel to hotel, etc., and the plan was to pretty much just lay out for a few days and relax before heading home. Fiji was quite beautiful, but also quite hot. The nearness to the equator made the sun basically too much for me, and I spent those days moving from one area of shade to another. Not much energy to do anything else. One afternoon saw some clouds and slightly lower temperatures, and I managed to overcome inertia, get my 100-400 and took some shots of several species of birds I hadn't seen before.
