« 54 days into Fiordland | Main | Autumn's here »
Honora and I are just back from 8 days tramping in Stewart Island. We've spent so much time down there now I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get blase about seeing kiwi wandering around in daytime.
I don't think so.
Aside from the wildlife we're pretty satisfied with some of the tramping stuff we got done this time. I'll get all the details and other pics up here from tomorrow.

As the sun wakes me at 4.30am with a view of Arthurs seat in Edinburgh memories of kiwi spotting in Stewart Island seem but a dream but some memories are very sweet and unique ..Bryce
