replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4. My all-time favourite bird is the kookaburra. Its laugh soundtracked my years in Australia and I seek it out in zoos wherever I go. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 I’ve still never seen a Puffin! Would love to see a wild Kiwi and the dream would be to visit the Kakapo island. And then… there’s penguin species I haven’t seen in the wild yet 🙃 #obsessed #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. I’d love to one day photograph hummingbirds. I wouldn’t mind seeing a spoonbill with my own eyes, too - just to make sure it’s definitely not a Pokémon. #PTTravel

A5 #pttravel Nothing stands out. Whatever wildlife the area has to offer. I took this picture today on the roof next door of two crows talking over events.

A5 #PTTravel Puffins, cassowary (from a safe distance) ... and, of course penguins. Also, I'd like to get some decent pictures of humming birds ... like the one I unsuccessfully chased around a bush in Guadeloupe!

replying to @findinganeish @kate_frankie A5. Currently I’m on the lookout for a green woodpecker. I glimpsed one in Geneva once but they’re nowhere near as common in Scotland. Maybe if I make it down to Brighton later this year… #PTTravel

A4 I don't condone the second photo. It was such a weird tourist thing. Getting up close is interesting but they should be free & flying around.
I saw some beautiful birds in LATAM and Australia/New Zealand plus islands

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @kate_frankie #pttravel I had a pied woodpecker at my feeders the other morning. My 'resident expert' says they wouldn't eat anything in the feeders. Maybe the woodpecker didn't know that?

I'm also on a mission to see all the different flavours of penguin in the wild #PTTravel

A6 #pttravel Know what you’re doing & what you want to see. If you haven’t done a lot of bird watching, maybe find some bird watchers to go out with at first.
