Photos taken from footpath beside Waitemata Harbour. Had me confused from a distance as still sporting some baby down. Maybe breeding on Rangitoto Island, not far away?
Found in small rock pool at low tide.
Chicks in a mud nest in a fallen tree on the beach. Chicks were constantly begging for food. Video in the video link field (sound of chicks only).
A ray or skate feeding trace, exposed in tidal mudflats. Bivalves provide scale, roughly 50 cm across
found in water bowl used by wild birds
