    From a quick trip out to the mountains yesterday to Arthurs Pass. Here is a Kea, the worlds only alpine parrot. This one was a bit of a struggle to photograph as he/she followed me where ever I went, and my camera couldn't focus close enough. I have been to this location a good few times to views these birds, but this is the first time I have seen them.
