Here are some birds found during a family trip to New Zealand, 4-16 Dec 2018. We spent a few days on the North Island and almost two weeks on the South Island, including a couple days at Stewart/Ulva Islands. Photos were taken with various cameras, including a Canon EOS 60D and an iPhone, so the quality varies considerably! Species are arranged in taxonomic order, and common names mostly follow eBird.
