       Here are four of the many things I found taking my camera for a run this afternoon in Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ.Curious European greenfinches on a wire (one twisted around to look at me): https://inaturalist.nz/observations/335927660A late instar caterpillar of an Australian yellow admiral butterfly that I found feeding on a European dwarf nettle: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/335927656A mallard duck swimming on the Heathcote River with the *best* reflections (I took a lot more photos of the swirling patterns on the silver water): https://inaturalist.nz/observations/335927802A mushroom of what I think is the native *Pluteus readiarum*, growing on the dead stump of a planted ribbonwood tree: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/335927658#nature #WildCounts #Ōtautahi #Christchurch #NZ
