    Straight after the shot you can see another one dart out of the bush top right so there was more than one there, nice footage!

    Unfortunately for most, helicopter rides into the Kawekas are a thing of the past, they have priced themselves off the market 😕

    @BackridgeButcher That's sad that the price is so high But there is something about doing it on foot.A certain feeling of accomplishment .Do it while you can I say.

    I've slowed it right down on my computer, convinced it's a large mountain hare. Could be a yearling, but hard to say

    Appreciate your concern mate, got to die of something eventually!! I always carry a little oil to clean the top before cooking
