Latest story I shot for @NZGeographic , bit of a pig hunting adventure with writer @naomiarnold last month. Wild pigs are eating our rare native frogs; not ideal. nzgeo.com/stories/one-pi…

Sometimes people try to tell the truth accidentally. Why was Andrew Bayly given days to tell his family? Have a listen at this odd unprepared answer: "I've never had an affai.......um, anything like this happen before".

Then I’ll show you a rare behind the scenes….found the background to suit him, but couldn’t find a screen reflective enough so modified the TV, threw in the angle poise lamp, and blacked out the window. It’s done like this to suit his work and character, a quiet online hunter of ratbags

Awesome, thanks. And you’re looking at the portrait I shot of Smuts Clyde. That was fun to carefully craft for @nzgeo.bsky.social

Anyone that thinks cycleways are Wellington’s problem should stop inhaling the propaganda. This is fu*ked and feels like a vendetta.

REALLY BOSS?!! Incredible how hard-wired my #corgi pup is to work stock on the slightest suggestion, & how much self control the pup has despite it. Most people don’t realise they’re a cattle breed, she has the fully installed 🐄 module in that 🧠 .

Cool thing is that Heritage NZ regard my ancestor Charles Suisted as a founding father of Otago, second to Johnny Jones the whaler. www.heritage.org.nz/list-details...

Goodwood is on the coast near Palmerston (south) and I’m named for the man Bobbys Head is named for, Robert Richmond (Charles’ father in law) and where they landed with Johnny Jones the whaler….

And remnants of the orchard and plantings around the main house from 1850s, with massive fruit trees which still produce, and giant macrocarpa trees still towering on this beautiful coastline just south of Shag Point…

It’s unique for its Swedish design elements and the pan iron roofing which was designed for ship’s hold size….

Just had a relaxing visit to the Suisted Stables at Goodwood. Built by my Swedish ancestor Charles Suisted in 1848, first settlers in North Otago. 2nd oldest farm bldg in NZ. Likely started the traditional red iron oxide colour to farm bldgs bc Suisted came from Iron business…🧵

Such a bloody shame. This beautiful hill stood for decades with a power pole placed gently without impact. Now to replace it we have to f*ck the place. Grass won’t take in summer now on clay, will be bare and weedy for years, and the bank will be sloughing eyesore for ages. Progress huh?!

Race final for the Wellington Corgi Races. My Clem came second last in heat. Training is in fact important, not just raw talent and speed. 30+ corgis in comp

This is Bullshit! None of these ridiculously priced multi blade razors cut half as well as a good old skool double edged safety razor and a good lather, at a fraction of the price. Not to mention environmental footprint of all this design & brand churn.

Don’t normally encourage #corgi racing bc they’re such a staunch proud working dog breed, but what the heck, my pup is a missile! Come for a look this Saturday in Lower Hutt. #SwissArmyKnifeDog

Since we’re heading back to the 80’s we thought we better get cracking. Apricot chicken for dinner, and I’ve cranked back to a Tom Selleck. Better start looking for some rothmans and a pair of stubbies.

Got sent a flash gift box and there seems to be a theme. Do people like biscuits with cumin? And what’s with the ‘man’ salt FFS?

Been slow here sorry - super busy sorting my house for sale. As a nature photog I've loved being perched up here in Wgtn watching the weather change (& sometimes mutate!) - a truly magic spot. Will be very sad to go: www.trademe.co.nz/a/property/r...

My six year old became a hunter today. Wanted to know about all the organs & what they did, & is making a pie tmrw & doesn’t want to waste. And a 78m shot thru the Swede - top shot. Proud of his attitude & maturity, it will be a lifelong thing for him I expect, w a very respectful start #Robsfarm
