Owl

When we were walking through the bush this morning I heard a fluttering sound and was surprised and delighted to see a Morepork (Ruru in Maori) land on a branch next to the track. It allowed me to take one photo before it flew away - I would like to taken more (and better) photos of it.  
Extra: View of a track through  our 5+ hectares of protected native bush covenanted with the QE2 National Trust.
