Sunshine and..

A Tui!
Tui’s, our wonderful NZ songster birds do love the kowhai trees and as we have at least eight, have been in the past,disappointed.
But today a big Tui arrived perching on several of our trees and regalled us with his beautiful song. I haven’t got the shot as good as some of my North Island 365’rs but this does show the gold of the sunshine at this time of day!
Thankful for: Hubby who has taken on the job of chief cook and bottle washer and is finding out what it takes!

how exciting - I hope it is the start of more visits for you

So nice that the tui have found your garden. They always amuse me - first out of bed in the morning and last to stop singing in the evening. Hopefully they will continue to visit your area.

@dide Your photos are so much better but I just had to try a quick one here before he flew away!

[Liana Bull]

Cool that they are coming to serenade you. Such a beautiful bird and a pretty flowering kowhai tree for them to sip nectar.

[Yolanda]

It's great that they sang for you. I'm glad you had such a good time

[Valerie Chesney]

They are gorgeous birds, how lovely you have them in your garden

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. I was going to miss the bird.

He does look big, maybe his friends and family will join him and you will have a chorus! It’s such a big help when our husbands will cook!

It must be wonderful to hear the song of such a lovely bird.

Hide and seek game, found it.

[Pat Knowles]

Lovely photo.....he has chosen a perfect place to sing his song! Sometimes our indisposition is a jolt to our lovely other halves who can sometimes not realise what it takes to run a house!

[haskar]

Great light and colours. Lovely bird.

[Maggiemae]

@happypat I think you are right, Pat! Life is a lot easier when you don't have think what has to be done next!

[bruni]
