Another great video Dan. Your doing a lot of things right in these videos. The actual shots you take work really well, the editing keeps up the pacing, and its obviously put together in a very sensible way that keeps the viewer not just engaged, but provides a great linier storyline of your day thats easy and fun to watch. I really like the fact your not like some who go to other countries and just become some sort of fabulist, constantly chattering about how otherworldly incredible everything is just to make it sound like they are doing more wonderful things than anyone else alive. Your approach is more down to Earth, and you do take time to show viewers the great and interesting things you see without trying to make it sound like its beyond belief like some are prone to doing. And give yourself a pat on the back for coming across as person who is down to Earth themselves and easy to relate to. Interestingly enough when you first spoke of the Haast Eagle, it was enough to make me want to look it up when you said you couldn't recall if one of the reasons it was hunted to extinction was it was eating people. The fact you ended up looking it up and doing a brief segment on it for your viewers was great. It saved me the work! LOL. I suspect that eating people or not, it was a hazard of a pretty high magnitude. A normal bal;d eagle would be unpleasant to have attack you, and a bird this large is going to have less fear and attack more frequently for whatever reasons, even if it didnt try to eat them. And I have little doubt a bird that size flying over your head with any reputation for going after someone, or taking babies or livestock, well, its got to go eventually. It reminds me of telling Frankie that its a fact we couldnt live with dinosaurs running wild in the modern world. Now a days we have the occasional bear, up north even polar bears come wandering into small towns and having to be tranquilized or chased out. Any concept there would ever have been a way to live with that wandering animal instead be a T-Rex or some such thing is ludicrous. They would have to go. I can certainly see locals deciding an eagle that size "Had to go". Nice job. You videos are so easy and fun to watch and give a realistic idea about what the places you visit are like.

Thanks Dave! Sorry took me a long time to get back to you. Appreciate the kind words. Comments like this keep me motivated to continue making videos despite the vast amount of time I spend with either a camera in hand or at the computer. It's not easy staying motivated to sit on a computer and edit while you are in a new place and just want to go out exploring, haha. I'll be Canada side, sometime in the near future. I'll look you up when I get there. Cheers!

Didn't know much about NZ before, other than seeing the movie Whale Rider, ages ago. And now seeing your adventures here. Seems like a beautiful place still untouched by the busy-ness of capitalism and over population. Such serene and quiet views of nature.😄

Hope your drone is ok.
