Kadu Flyer
Tui
On our first evening at Coromandel we were on a beach in a little cove surrounded by some large rain forest covered hills. It was deathly quiet as we walked around.
Occasionally we heard some random musical notes playing out loud.
At first I thought it was some child in one of the few local houses, maybe practicing some sort of weird musical instrument.
After a while we decided it was a bird and later we Googled it.
It turns out it was one of these, a Tui.
It became the music of our holiday, I absolutely loved the sound and for me the sound of New Zealand. Some days we woke up to it!
If you want to hear it :-
The start of this is all Tui, crazy birds, whistles, cackles and snorts :-)
Chill out out it.....

Apparently they can mimic other birds as well, if I ever come back as a bird ......
