A story here..

We have been having tui songs evening and morning from a tree in the corner of our property. I ventured out quietly this morning but couldn't catch him bouncing from one branch to another. Then he obviously noticed me ( I do not look like a tui) and flew over to the edge of the house near me and sat there while i took his photo! Then he flew back to his tree!
Thankful for:
The Beijing Olympics to watch!

You have picked up some lovely colours in this tui.

@dkbarnett I was surprised at that - the light was poor and came from behind!

I love Tui's - great shot

[Sporen Maken]

Nice sound indeed. We do not have these species in Holland. Love the morning glow in this picture too.

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful for you & wonderful for me to see Maggiemae...
We saw them on our trips to NZ & thought them so beautiful.

[Diana]

He must have liked you, a gorgeous bird with wonderful colours.

How nice of him to be so accommodating and give you this fabulous shot. If I think of it I’m going to see if I can find what he sounds like

[Thom Mitchell]

@grammyn The notes are very pure and different, Katy-- https://youtu.be/ueqTb88fdgw

@happypat I didn't capture the light in the eye because the light wasn't right, Pat. Still another chance!

[Maggiemae]

@ludwigsdiana I would say he was curious, Diana. Hope he lets me take more photos!

[FBailey]

[Daisy Miller]

Nice capture with good colorful details. P.S. I am enjoying the Olympics too.

Oh, Maggiemae that was so exciting to hear that. He has several different sounds actually doesn’t he? Thank you so much for that link.
