Every year, Kiwi Gardener and Topflite ask the Kiwi Gardener readers to capture their local birds in the garden through the eye of a lens. Check out last year’s entries and the stunning ‘Bird of Prey’ winner by Kathy Keddle. Check out June’s edition of Kiwi Gardener for details of how to enter this year’s competition.
