Christchurch lies on the Canterbury Plains with views of the Southern Alps mountain range. The city has hill suburbs nestled in what are called the 'Port Hills'. Christchurch is well known for its many parks and gardens, including Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens.
Love the colours – and here we call them blackbirds, doesnt really do them justice. I saw a finch taking a shower under an irrigation sprinkler in our garden yesterday – I wish Id had my camera with me, it was just way too cute!

Might only be one little bird but it is very nice pic. Not sure what kind of bird, looks a little like our starling, with the sheen on its feathers.
