Tui in the Flax

Having a few day's away with my two SIL's and we are doing the Tauranga Art and Garden Festival, all kicks off tomorrow and we have 53 gardens to get through so I guess I may have a photo or two to share with you..
Today we stopped for a walk around the Karangahake Gorge and the tui's were very busy in the flax bushes .. cought this fellow just before they flew off..
