Enderby Island part 2

 There are some photos that I didn’t put in last time because sometimes they just don’t load properly. Anyway here they are.

So this is a Kakaraki - a red-crowned parakeet- which seems to be quite rare, or at least hard to find. We were lucky that we had a birder on our Zodiac who pointed it out!

Pretty pink flower. Enderby Island gentian.

Another pink flower. A mega herb - Anistome. The herbs are called’megaherbs’ because they are huge with much bigger green leaves to catch as much sun as possible in a cloudy overcast climate.

Rata tree flowering. Quite spectacular.

Grass tree- Dracophyllum. Although here it’s really shrub size.

Another mega herb - Bulbinella rossii.

Interesting geological feature in the cliff face. What is that red layer that’s pretending to be an NZ version of an aplite vein?
