A Full Index of the Photographed Species of Christchurch Harbour
All photographs were taken in the recording area and some are of an exceptionally high standard. The emphasis is not just on quality, however, but to record variation in plumages and to provide a way for newcomers to familiarise themselves with the birds of Christchurch Harbour.
