Island Paradise - The South Island Saddleback's Secret Spa Retreat!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this exclusive snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Don Hadden, we witness the luxurious bathing rituals of the elusive South Island Saddleback. Known as Tieke to locals, these feathered divas have discovered their very own oasis on Motuara Island in New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds. With only a small pool serving as their sole water source, these fashionable fowl have turned it into their personal spa haven. Watch as they gracefully dip and dive, indulging in refreshing dips that keep them looking fabulous from beak to tail feather! Surviving solely on select offshore islands like Stewart and Motuara, our stylish saddlebacks know how to make a splash! Their vibrant plumage glistens under the warm Australasian sun as they expertly preen and clean themselves with utmost precision. It's no wonder why this charming species is considered one of New Zealand's most treasured avian gems. With every flap of their wings and each playful splash in the crystal-clear waters, these delightful creatures remind us all to take a moment for self-care – even if you're just a bird! So join us in celebrating nature's ultimate pamper session with DH-4759 (South Island Saddleback / Tieke). Let this image transport you to an island paradise where relaxation reigns supreme and feathers always look flawless!
