Hello Budak
Thanks for sharing the pictures, although purdy, it is very sad to witness such ecological blunders.
Kindest regards

I was in NZ last week and while I shaln't share what my duck was up to there, I did manage to take some pictures of purdy flowers. No idea what species though, but many are probably not native.

In terms of biodiversity, NZ is a nightmare. It used to be a dream, a relic of Gondwana with reptiles, birds, amphibians and plants (including the world's largest moss reaching over a foot high) found nowhere else on earth. But now many of the endemics (including the kiwis, tuataras, takahe, native wrens, podocarp trees, primitive frogs and lizards, unique fish) are clinging to the edge in protected reserves. In the farmland that covers much of the rest of the country, you find a motley crew of introduced species, from exotic palms and British wildflowers and heather, to possums (a very serious pest) to ferrets and weasels. And where else can you find English blackbirds in the same gardens as Common Mynahs (yes, it's the same mynah we have, and it's exceedingly common even in the rural areas!)?

Also where's there's blooms, there's gotta to be bugs...

i like those buggies.. but some of the shots need to do with higher DOF leh..
So i need to up the aperture to increase DOF right?
err..theres a discussion on this whole dof thing at the photography subforum.. more than one way to up it..
