Overflow at Nihotupu

After S had finished her Yoga practiceWe headed out to Huia village. Stopped at the Nihotupu reservoir. Auckland was subjected to heavy rain overnight, and on top of lots of rain for the last couple of weeks the reservoir was overflowing. A strong wind lashed spray from the overflow onto us. 

Late in the day I went for a brisk walk on a circuit I have not done for some months. I saw a Putangitangi pair. The female was unremarkable. I had noted that the male was darker than usual. 

This evening as I looked at the photo (see the extra) it seems quite wrong, as if something has happened.
