EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this portrait, we witness the majestic Kereru, also known as the New Zealand Pigeon, indulging in a feast fit for royalty. Perched gracefully on a tree branch amidst the lush greenery of Westland National Park, this adult Kereru showcases its vibrant plumage and undeniable charm. With its beak full of succulent berries, our feathered friend takes on the role of nature's very own seed distributor. As an endemic species to New Zealand, it plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of its forest ecosystem. Talk about multitasking! The South Island's picturesque landscape serves as the perfect backdrop for this avian superstar. Its Maori name "kereru" pays homage to its significance within indigenous culture and highlights its unique place in New Zealand's natural heritage. Steffen & Alexandra Sailer have masterfully captured this moment that encapsulates both beauty and functionality in one frame. Their photographic prowess allows us to appreciate not only the bird itself but also how it contributes to sustaining wildlife diversity. So next time you stumble upon a juicy berry or marvel at a flourishing forest canopy, remember our delightful Kereru friends diligently working behind the scenes – ensuring that Mother Nature thrives with their culinary expertise!
