Amidst the kowhai ...

there is a white blob! this is aTui that had previously had a standoff with another Tui in a near tree. He won and now there is just a white blob - on his throat as he dived into the kowhai. Whether he was upside down or sideways no-one knows!
Pleased about:
Bought another battery charger for very little NZ money for my HX400V camera.

I cannot find him but do like the yellow flowers.

[Harry J Benson]

Good find

He’s hiding & getting his breath back hopefully. I didn’t know Tui’s fought like that…. I hope he’s not dead!!

[Kate]

He’s really hidden in there

[Dawn]

Cool spotting they certainly are quite territorial

@grammyn it was from a Trademe site, Katy. The photographic shop I went to didn't have one and said to get a new one might be over $100!

@happypat One tui was chasing the other one away wherever he alighted.

Great shot!
