Flight of a Fantail
The Pīwakawaka, commonly known as the Fantail. Fantails swiftly glide through the air with darting movements, utilizing their fan-shaped tails to execute sudden directional changes both during flight and while perched. Capture footage of this inquisitive, cheeky and often illusive bird in our backyard. April 2024 (NZ Bird of the Year, 2006)
