Tiny Kiwi.

Spent a lovely afternoon walking the mad dog around Arduaine Gardens.

(I tried to keep her under control Maurice!)

There is the most beautiful magnolia tree, covered in blossom. As I was snapping away, while being pulled in all directions by the dog on the end of the lead (she's better off the lead), something fluttered down.

The outer buds are like little silky fur cocoons.

The ground beneath the tree is covered in skeleton leaves for some reason.

Can you see the tiny kiwi bird?
