Hello, my name is Abraham, Abe for short.
I am 14 years old and live in New Brighton, Christchurch. I love going for walks with my family, tramping, and most importantly, birding. I have been interested in birds for just over a year now, and I love photographing the wildlife at my local wetland, Travis Wetland/Ōruapaeroa. My favorite bird is by far the Yellow-eyed penguin/Hoiho.

Hi, I’m Alfie,
I am a 14 year-old birder and bird photographer from Wellington and have an interest in tramping, football, but most importantly: birds. I have been into birding for a while now, and my favourite bird is definitely the Kakapo. Feel free to follow me on Instagram at alfieb770.

Hello! My name’s Audrey and I’m a keen conservationist from Queenstown. I’ve been interested in the outdoors and the natural world since a young age, but have always had a specific passion for birds ever since we got chickens when I was four. In the last few years, I’ve extended this knowledge mainly through the Duke of Edinburgh program and can’t wait to learn more!

Kia ora, I’m Ben.
I’m a 14 year old young birder and photographer who lives in Ōtautahi (Christchurch). I mostly bird around Waitaha (Canterbury) but love to get out of my zone and bird in other regions of Aotearoa. My favourite birds at the moment are Waders. Feel free to follow me on instagram at Bellbirdben

Kia Ora, I’m Saul, a 14 Year Old Birder and Photographer based in Ōtaki on the Kāpiti Coast. I have been birding regularly since 2020 and have never looked back. I always had an interest in the native birds of Aotearoa, especially wetland species, and this led to my keen interest in birding and conservation. My Favourite bird is the Ngutu Parore / Wrybill.

I hope you join our team and become a birder, good birding.

Saul!

Kia Ora, I’m Zion. I’m a 15 year old nature photographer and birdwatcher from Christchurch. Right from a young age I have loved the natural world but it was a trip to South Africa that sparked my interest in birds. My favourite NZ bird is currently the Karearea/NZ Falcon but in an hour it will no doubt change! You can find me at zioncooper.com or @zioncooperphotography on Instagram.
