Tonight’s kiwi spotting was a bit epic. Kiwi and an Aurora Australis!.

This wee dusky woodswallow has been blown into Halfmoon bay this week. Endemic to Australia, it’s not a bird one would expect to see on Rakiura.
By share coincidence a single dusky wood swallow was also photographed on Stewart Island in September 2014. A decade ago. 😮
These great shots were captured by Craig Stonyer a local photographer, and also the guide for Beaks & Feathers new ‘Ulva Island Photography Tour’ .

Beaks and Feathers are stoked to have received another travellers choice award. We could not have achieved this without the awesome people who make up the Beaks and Feathers team, and the visitors to Stewart Island who choose to go on our tours. A big thanks to you all 😀
