Wally the weka

We have had a family bach in Northwest Bay in the Marlborough Sounds since 1976. We're off the grid and boat access only. One of my favourite visitors has always been the 'friendly' weka. I was at the bach during the week and Wally turned up to look for scraps of food. Whatever weka comes to visit our bach always gets the name 'Wally', because, why not? In the same way our local stingray is named "Sammy", and the pukeko living on my lawn are all named "Polly", and my resident owl is called "Olly". Needless to say the current Wally is not likely to be the same Wally who was around a decade ago...

Wally heard another Wally calling from the bushes and answered the call. I didn't see the other Wally.
