Cat Snacks

We travelled to Coromandel in the weekend to watch the Waikato V Canterbury Ranfurly Shield defence (let us never speak of it again) and have a few beers/wines with Julia's parents. I have been getting to grips with my new camera having recently upgraded from my trusty little Sony W1 (3.1 MP 3X optical zoom) to the Panasonic Lumix FZ8 (7 MP 12X optical zoom), a huge improvement and a fantastic mid priced camera if you are in the market. The food pictures will not be improved greatly but having more zoom has been great for most other things including the 'wildlife' shots below taken from the in-laws back door. The bowls contain sugar water which the Tui and Tauhou love, I think the cat is after something else entirely.

Tui (Prosthermadera novaeseelandiae)




Tauhou or wax-eyes (Zosterops lateralis)


No Isis, I don't think they are coming back
