Our exploring of the far north west corner of South Island started with grey skies and strong easterlies so we sheltered in a cafe with coffee and took in the vastness of the views across Farewell Spit.
The coastline is rugged and verdant green and we enjoyed the walk up to the lookout point at Pillar Lighthouse.
The story of the Asian - Australian bird migration is so interesting, with many thousands of godwits and knots feeding here having migrated from Alaska and Siberia.
We did see plenty of the Bar-tailed Godwits, also thousands of South Island Pied Oystercatchers and rather surprisingly plenty of Black Swans too.
