I love tuis. Apparently they have two voiceboxes and are excellent mimics.

Great pic of a Tui - I have been trying for some time but they always seem to hide behind a branch on me!!

Such a beautiful bird, I love the pattern around its neck. Great capture!

@georgews I know... They stay on the tree top, hard to photograph them. And fly away before u take lens cap off... I was lucky today to get the shot.

Huey I am so jealous - we don't see many of them around Christchurch but I keep hoping! Fabulous capture and lovely dof.

Love the colouring around the neck. Don't think I've ever seen one of these.
