Tūī (#Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae ssp. novaeseelandiae) looking around for a snack in the tree tops on top of Te Tapui.

You could probably play around with the colours a bit to make him a bit brighter. It was a nice overcast day.

Please enjoy this photo of a tūī (#Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) even though I think there is a misplaced twig in the way. Still. It looks pretty colourful and glossy.

Found the tūī (#Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) that has been singing in the neighbourhood. Unfortunately he’s not in an easy spot to photograph, being deep in a tree. There is a Taiwan cherry on the other side.

A tūī (#Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae) in a tree with his head facing backwards because they assembled him incorrectly at the factory.

Tūī (#Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) being incredibly graceful and having a snack from the wharariki (#Phormium yongtongiddleipo) flax that’s starting to flower in the backyard.

It got scared by me taking photos. Then a male blackbird chased it away. Boo to those crappy invasive birds annoying the natives.

A somewhat wind ruffled tūī (#Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) sits on a branch above a stream and looks for its next adventure. This one has been making a racket in the trees for the past week. Hopefully it is after the bountiful kōwhai trees in bloom and will stay around.
