Pine Island before sunrise - my early bird photography
Early bird comes from a seventeenth century English proverb, "The early bird catches the worm".
An early bird, in people, is someone who does something or goes somewhere very early, especially very early in the morning.
Waikare Inlet is adjacent to Opua Marina, Bay of Islands, NZ. Early morning is quiet, however as the day builds, things become busy and many dinghies can be seen coming across into the dock (bottom right, out of sight) to buy provisions, etc. Boats moored in the stream with dinghies attached have people living/sleeping aboard. At this time of year (Summer) there are many overseas boats/sailors coming in and Opua is the first port they are required to come into for New Zealand Customs inspections. Some stay in the area all Summer, while others explore around New Zealand a little, before heading back overseas in April/May before the South Pacific cyclones start.
