Yes, the White Heron know how to make an impressive, visual spectacle of themselves! 🤩😍
By September and the start of breeding season both male and female Kōtuku will have developed long, lacy, delicate plumes known as aigrettes, which they display to attract a mate.
Just like the photo the aigrettes are dramatically raised and then slowly, gracefully lowered for maximum 'look at me!' effect.
Book now for the upcoming season to witness this and more Kōtuku magic!
