New Zealand Photography

This page is for the Aotearoa/New Zealand Bird images that are available for a Koha/Contribution to support my Quest to travel and photograph as much of the world as I can. I will be travelling light, mostly by bike and camping when possible.

Images are available for as much or as little as you wish to contribute to my Quest - If you like an image but can’t afford a Koha then please help yourself to a download and do something nice for someone today and if you get a chance message me with details of your random act of kindness - I would love to start posting them.

To Download - Click on the image and be taken to a Dropbox where you can download a full-size JPEG file.
