Kea (Nestor Notabilis)
Alpine/sub-alpine scree/scrub etc.
The wonderful Kea, the Alpine Parrot of New Zealand. The first photo is of a fledgling that we caught and banded as part of population research. The second is of an adult seen from a distance which has already been tagged and banded. Third is a silhouetted Kea against the sky.

The second image is beautiful!
Whoops. The 2nd and 3rd photos will be of the same bird - but the fledgling is obviously not the same bird!!
Hi Andy. Welcome to Project Noah. Actually you've got 3 spottings there, it doesn't matter that they're the same species. If they were the same individual, then they should be combined. Thanks
