When I first read about Nassim Nicholas Taleb's black swan theory, I was utterly delighted with the mystery and promise of unexpected discoveries that it signifies. But black swans are real and can be seen in all their glory in this Facebook group dedicated to the birdlife of the southern hemisphere island nation of New Zealand. But there are other, equally fascinating avians to behold. A lone oyster catcher on a beach. A large flock of spoonbills, head places. A white-capped albatross with its wings spread. A magical night-time shot of a white heron. Avian recluses such as the Banded Rail and Spotless Crake. A tiny, elfin rifleman - a delicate dynamo (and New Zealand's smallest bird) that can be a real challenge to capture on film. One can only imagine what the posts might have looked like if the giant moa was still around.
