Mr December
Meet Mister December in my Wild birds of New Zealand 2022 calendar. He obviously didn't get the memo about being a "stately royal spoonbill". I'm in a hide at Pauatahanui, but he totally knows I'm there and is clacking his just desserts spoon at me in case I was thinking of doing anything funny. Royal spoonbill/kōtuku ngutupapa (Platalea regia).
The calendars are a large A3 size and $28 each. I've heard they make a lovely Christmas present or you can keep it for yourself and have this handsome lad hanging in your kitchen for a whole month. DM me or email me on louise@louisethomas.co.nz to pre-order a calendar or for other details. Ready end of September/early October. Shipping at cost or free pick-up in Woburn, Lower Hutt. No payment required until ready for shipping/pick-up.
