Bellbirds are back, baby!

The first korimako, NZ bellbird, was spotted today back on campus at #LincolnUniversityNZ. I got a photo and one of the postgrads recorded it singing.

About this time of year korimako have finished breeding in the forest reserves of the Port Hills and some birds go roaming out across the less suitable habitats of the Canterbury Plains. A few find the university campus. It's usually the male birds that get this far out, as was the case today.
