Tui (118/365)
This male Tui (in our Bottlebrush tree) is putting on display of aggression.
Normally he would keep much of the tree foliage between himself and me - and I do not get a photo. In this instance he is getting ready to chase off other birds. His feathers are raised and ruffled to give the impression of increased size, and he is paying me no attention.
Note: this is my third photo of a Tui in my FLICKR collection.
