EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Don Hadden, we witness the elusive South Island Saddleback, also known as Tieke, engaging in a thrilling game of hide-and-seek among the leaf litter on Motuara Island. With its vibrant plumage and curious demeanor, this feathered adventurer survives solely on select offshore islands like Stewart Island and here in Marlborough Sounds. As we peer into this enchanting scene, it becomes evident that the forest floor is not just a bed of fallen leaves but an exciting treasure trove waiting to be explored. The agile saddleback skillfully navigates through nature's confetti, delicately sifting through the foliage with its carunculated beak. With each rustle and hop amidst the leafy carpet, our little avian friend uncovers hidden gems - insects scurrying away from their newfound foe or perhaps even a delectable morsel tucked beneath nature's tapestry. It's a delightful reminder that life thrives in unexpected places! Don Hadden has masterfully captured this unique moment where wildlife meets wonderment. So next time you find yourself strolling through the woods or exploring untamed landscapes, take a closer look at what lies beneath your feet – who knows what magical creatures might be playing their own version of hide-and-seek!
