I’m calling this week’s blog Blurry Bird Butts of New Zealand, because the greater majority of bird photos that I took while there would fall into this category.
For example: this male Tomtit. This fellow was warbling away (which was made even more impressive by the grub he had clamped in his bill the whole time) up in a tree near Franz Josef Glacier. In addition to the sky being overcast, he was strongly back lit, so this was the best photo I could get.
