Hi Eileen, I enjoyed seeing close-ups of the Terns with tufted quiffs. And loved all the other birds and pretty beach scenes. What lovely pristine beaches you have. Looks so welcoming. Jo
Oh what a slice of paradise! Gorgeous beach and wonderful photos of the birds and pretty shells - the jellyfish not so much, lol!

Wonderful beach and beautiful birds, but I do not like jellyfish. :)
I love that closeup of the terns fluffing their feathers! :)
wonderful photos!
The sweeping sand of the beach is so inviting. Happy Day
I am thankful for blogging and for bloggers to. I love all these photos. that beach is just gorgeous. I was only there once, back in 1986 and it looked nothing like this. it was only rocky shore line, it is really beautiful now
i enjoyed all these photos, especially the close up of the little birds...one has bands on his legs, guess he's been caught before! have a great day :)
I love Dunedin...such a quirky little town. And this is a beautiful beach. We went there a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. Isn't it fun to see the tortoise? They are so cool! Hugs!
Simplesmente maravilhosas,adorei! Já de volta! bjs, chica
I love Honeymoon. You got some great shots. The causeway onto the island is a good stroll too, for birds
Hi Eilen. Boy! Those skies are so blue and the sand so white. It all looks so inviting with good birding too. Love the terns and their yellow bills and the ossprey waiting around.
Have fun!
Boa tarde, a selecção de fotos é maravilhosa, a excelente definição e a bela cor, mostra na perfeição a natureza que é única e encanta, a praia de areia branca e as lindas aves são o máximo.

Beautiful white sand beach. And very cute to closeup of the Terns. Eileen. I have never seen them before.

That sand, the terns close up, and blue skies, all truly wonderful views, and although we are in summer, your blue skies are a real lift, as we have had so many grey days.
Eileen, thank you so much for your beautiful photos. The beach is so white, so nice. I never saw that in my own country! So, it is interesting to see your sea, your birds and other animals. I am glad I was here.
Hi Eileen, I love the pics in this post! If I must pick a favorite (difficult!) it would be the second picture … closeup of the terns. The one little tern looking down at his/her feet seems to say, Why do I have these bands on my legs? :-) That is a beautiful beach! Thank you for sharing and I am Thankful for your blog and for the kind comments you leave for me. Have a happy weekend ahead!
Eileen, you have made my day with these brilliant photos!!! And what a treat to see the tortoise, too! Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you are having a great week. :)
We've only been there once -- it was so fun -- we need to go again -- this is an overnight trip for us to get there -- but we will do at least one more of those this season I hope.
Blue sky a long white beach and birds make a pretty much perfect day.
