White herons and new born calves


This morning I helped milking the cows, then I rushed away on another adventure my host, Dan, had arranged for me. This time on water. I went with a group on Waitangiroto river to the only breeding place of white herons in New Zealand. There were plenty of herons and also some shags and royal spoonbills.
After being introduced to about half of the inhabitants of Whataroa, Dans friends, we fed the calves. Then we ended the day with the birth of a calf. It was lying upside down and the poor cow couldn't get it out. We pulled it out and left cow and calf in the paddock, hopefully happy and healthy.
