New Zealand Falcon / Kārearea - a photo on Flickriver

            Before these two characters started divebombing us (as described in my previous post), the male had just caught a small bird which he dropped of for the female to devour whilst he kept watch.

NZ Birds Online:
The New Zealand falcon is a magpie-sized raptor that feeds predominantly on live prey. Adapted to hunt within the dense New Zealand forests they are also found in more open habitats such as tussocklands and roughly grazed hill country. More recently they have been discovered breeding in exotic pine plantations. Laying their eggs in simple scrapes they can nest in a variety of locations, from within the epiphytes that grow in large trees, to on the ground under small rocky outcrops. Where they nest on the ground they are well known for attacking intruders, including humans, with aggressive dive-bombing strikes to the head.
