Bird watching....

As we drove into the village, there was a gorgeous stream along the side of the road. We parked up and started the bush reserve walk, it was very lush. Huge palm tree's towered above us and half of the walk was dark as the bush was so dense. The birds we're fantastic, they are so tame over here, we had a fantail follow us around the whole walk! There we're also some HUGE New Zealand pigeons...the worlds biggest pigeons! We started off on the normal track, but then we saw some steps carved out of the mud...we ended up on top of a cliff and the views we're stunning..down to the beach.
