Much more pleasurable than voting for politicians. 🙂  The Forest and Bird Protection Society has opened its webpage for your choice of NZ’s native bird of the year, the 12th year it has done so.  The webpage has information and photos of 53 of our native birds to choose from.  Some are often seen in Waikanae, often at the estuary, or in Nga Manu, others are very rarely seen.

You have till 30 October to make your vote.
