Owhiro Bay to Sinclair Head, South Coast Wellington New Zealand

I visited this beautiful coastal walk in May (early winter in New Zealand). The scenery is dramatic rocky coast featuring the famous volcanic red rocks, historic baches (simple recreational cottages) and a hal-out colony of male fur seals.

Along the way I enjoyed the company of many birds including the very rare (in NZ) reef heron and the delightful pipit, a constant travelling companion, along with gulls, oyster catchers, shags (cormorants) and other breeds of heron.
