Thanks Richard!! I think some photos will sums up this great day out on Po Toi!! The only flycatcher we missed was the Narcissus... The best bird for me was actually the Rufous-tailed Robin giving me a close up view for up to a minute!! I've never seen one this close before!! None of the birds seemed to be bothered about my existence today, most came to within 2-3m!! All but the Brown Hawk Owl which I'd failed to see one standing still for 3 years in a role...

One more photo of the skuas from the boat trip today, big thanks to Andrew for letting us onto the boat for this good day out!!

I thought the one on the far right looked like a Pom due to the more bulky body shape and breast band, while the other 2 looked like Arctic...But I think I will leave it for the experts to decide...
