Our Native Tui

I love it when I come across one of our native Tui's, well today I came across lots, not always in the right place to photograph but they were out enjoying the sun singing to their hearts content.

Such a pretty fellow too. He looks lovely in among the flowers

You take such good photos of the bird, Karen! So clear and as it is such a dark colour and difficult to get that lovely sheen, this is just excellent!

What came first, the beer or the bird? :)
Great shot of him, Karen... love the green blurry background, too.

You are so lucky to be able to catch a bird - ours are wild and fly away as soon as I come near~! Fabulous capture

Have to give it a fav, love the Tui. We have 4 or 5 that visit our garden regularly, along with Pekapeka and Kereru.
