Kingfishers/kōtare at the Hutt Estuary
How cool are the sacred kingfishers/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus) around the Hutt boatsheds next to the estuary? I've seen at least two, sometimes three, every time I've been there these last couple of months. They perch on the docks or convenient poles and forage for crabs in the little inlet. Their table manners are brutal. This chap is looking particularly russet in the evening's golden light.
