Tui in the kotuktuku tree

Jackie asked me for some native flora and fauna this week, shot from my bedroom window, I love this tree and all its visitors, hours of entertainment. Here is a great video of how they sound , move and interact with each other.

@photohoot Thanks, its hard to get the camera to read how vivid the greens are, used a post processing filter to boost them, The tui looks black from a distance but it really is a very colourful bird. it was nicknamed by the settlers as a parson bird because of its little neck tuft.

Thanks for the video- it was sooo good. Such a lot of them in one spot - and so many different sounds. They really are fascinating. Cheers Rob

Surprised at how big the Tui bird looks on the tree branch and the interesting sounds. Very nice.
