From plovers to penguins, from swans to seals, a goosey funeral, an avian love triangle and godwits heading off on their Thousand Mile journey, Michael Peryer of Waikanae beach has watched the bird life of the Waikanae river estuary and lagoons for many years.
Books are in Mik’s blood- his charming children’s books about the bird and seal people of the estuary entertain and teach young Kiwis about the importance of taking care of our heritage of neighbourly wildlife. An earlier book ‘Whatever Next’ has found its way to almost every country in Europe and further afield.
