Enclosure Bay 1957 (video!)

This is what Enclosure Bay looks like at 1 am with a full moon. This photo was taken on new years day 2007.

 

A fantail (piwakawaka in Maori) seen flittering around in the bush beside the bach.

 

Another bird the Tauhou in the Maori language means "stranger" Wax eye, white eye or silver eye in english.

 

Heres a sight my great grandmother would not have seen back in the 1920s. Kereru or New Zealand bush pigeon are getting almost common on Waiheke Island. Having no possum to destroy the bush certainly helps. This photo was taken sitting on the deck of the bach, this bird would turn up every morning in the puriri tree.
