Singing tui by dide

Singing tui

This shot was taken the other day while at the Botanic Gardens with @julzmaioro. If you look closely, you can see yellow pollen around the base of his beak. This shot also supports my theory that the white 'tuft' of feathers is really only a couple of feathers.
Fabulous detail here
