I really enjoy this time of the year as we have virtually all the Magnolias out also a lot of the early rhododendrons,especially the reds such as Cornubia, Camelias, Prunus and the large Michelia doltsopas. As some of the Magnolias are quite large they make a spectacular sight as without the leaves on the deciduous trees you can see right through the garden to all of these large flowering trees. Heaps of bird action with tuis especially in flocks in the flowering cherries, sometimes over 20 in one tree. Lately we have had 3 Kakas flying around the garden, screeching and making allsorts of other sounds. Today room 2 from Tikokino school was here filming part of a movie set in the mid to late 1800s with a plot about saving native birds from extinction and the kaka was mentioned in the script and the cool thing was we could actually film it and record its song in the film!
