The crew spotted a massive love heart glade while flying over the vicinity of the Kaipara Flats in the afternoon of November 15.

The sight surprised the crew who took a few shots of the unexpected scene. Hidden in the middle of a forest area is the secret "love heart glade".

At first it might be hard to spot, amid the greenery - but once you see it, you can't miss it.

It appears someone got hold of some garden tools and decided to create a declaration of love that can be seen from above.

The Kaipara Flats area is located north of Auckland, just south of Wellsford.
