Tui in a Coral Tree

Had some time to kill in Auckland today, so I had a walk in one of the National Parks there. I'd just about given up finding something to photograph, when I saw the red flowers of the coral tree. Was only when I got closer that I noticed a couple of tui's feeding from the nectar. Love these birds

Fabulous capture and detail.

I tried and tried to photograph a tui when we were in New Zealand but no luck. This one is a beauty. I must check our coral trees and see if they are flowering yet.
