Wild Encounters is your complete guide to more than twenty of the best nature experiences New Zealand has to offer. Each entry contains maps, travel details and what to see and do, all accompanied by beautiful photography.

Butterflies and Moths - Reed Nature Series
order quantity
NZ$ 17.00 each
Author:
PARKINSON B & PATRICK B
Do you know how to tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth? This book contains diagrams and text that will help you identify one from the other, as well as being an identification guide to the moths and butterflies you might encounter on bush walks, in your backyard and so on. In New Zealand we have fewer than 30 named butterflies, some of which are very occasional trans-Tasman visitors. On the other hand, we have about 2000 moths, and this number is constantly being revised upwards. This book endeavours to show some of the variety of our large and diverse butterfly and moth fauna, along with a number of the gems that often go unnoticed. Much new and previously unpublished information about the food plants and distribution of these moths is included here. Moths from 22 families are depicted, a number of which have never been illustrated before. Brian Parkinson has written several books that explore New Zealand’s unique flora ...

Kaikoura, New Zealand
order quantity
NZ$ 19.95 each
Paperback
Author:
Whalerider Publishing
A beautiful pictorial of this magic place.
"Few places on Earth possess the magic of Kaikoura. It is a special place of powerful natural energy. Many who visit leave transformed. It is also a meeting place. Tectonic plates collide. Towering peaks fall to the sea. Sea currents converge. Such rare combinations lure an abundance of sea life, the most famous being the Sperm Whale. It was a whale that led the Maori ancestor Paikea to New Zealand many centuries ago. His decendants live in Kaikoura today. Fittingly, the whale continues to guide the people of Kaikoura and the visitors they host. It is both a talisman of prosperity and a symbol of passage between two worlds of experience. Kia ora!"

New Zealand Frogs and Reptiles
order quantity
NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Brian Gill
New Zealand is the most isolated landmass of its size and few types of amphibians reached its shores. The only groups occurring naturally in New Zealand are frogs, tuataras, two families of lizards (geckos and skinks), sea-snakes and marine turtles. The tuataras and native frogs are archaic animals of exceptional scientific interest.
This guide helps the reader - by means of photographs, identification keys and descriptive text - to identify the 59 living species of frogs and reptiles that occur wild in New Zealand.
