The kea is the world’s only alpine parrot—clever, curious, and full of character.
Photographed here mid-call, this juvenile is part of a nationally endangered species found only in New Zealand.
The Kea Conservation Trust estimates fewer than 7,000 remain.

Winter sunrise over Kaikōura.

The snow covered Seaward Kaikōura Range meets the Pacific. A place of breathtaking beauty and rich biodiversity. But even here, the impacts of overfishing & plastic pollution are becoming harder to ignore.

We’re lucky to share our mountains with the world’s only alpine parrot — the clever and cheeky kea. Endemic to New Zealand, they’re full of personality… and mischief! If you’ve ever met one, you’ll know just how naughty they can be!

Reefstars at Motukiekie Beach on the West Coast of New Zealand as the sun sets.

Low tide gives a rare look at just how many live here — an important reminder of how much life exists right at our feet. I feel incredibly blessed to call this place home 🧡

A Kea comes into land on a snow-covered tree in Arthur’s Pass National Park. Native to us here in New Zealand’s South Island, Kea are the world’s only alpine parrot—clever, curious, and full of mischief.

A New Zealand fur seal pup rests on a mossy rock, dwarfed by a waterfall deep in native bush.
Moments like these remind me why I photograph nature — to share what still thrives, and what must be protected.
