Whilst holidaying in Northland at the Tutukaka Holiday Park, we had a very interesting selection of visitors. The bird life was amazing, with some that are seldom seen in populated areas, such as the Quail & Pukekos. Here are just a few....Also the native flowers were very beautiful...The Manuka (Teatree) and Clematis putting on a beautiful show.

Thanks to all you lovely folk out there in DPS land, I feel I belong to a wonderful family, and it is so encouraging to read your feedback, not only of my own efforts but also those of others. Thanks for being so supportive.
