G-TAWK The aircraft arrived in from Tenerife all be it 3 hrs late operating the winter schedule the out bound passengers had left a few hours earlier in a replacement A/C sent up from Manchester
I have been trying to get a shot of all the Tuis around at the moment high up in the trees across the road,without much luck
but today one decided to have a drink in the birdbath on our front lawn.
With the weather beginning to perk up and longer days coming up, it is good to get out and about again; Birmingham Airport in particular is getting busier and sees a lot of variety especially with the winter travel season.
Whilst by no means the largest carrier at Birmingham, TUI Airways operations has been long-standing from the days of Britannia Airways which later became Thomsonfly, not forgetting First Choice that was merged with TUI AG in 2007 which saw both airlines being incorporated into Thomson Airways in late-2008, being TUI Airways since late-2017. The carrier competes with an expanding EasyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair.
Since TUI Airways took delivery of their first Boeing 737 MAX back in late-2018 (over 6 years ago), the carrier has amassed as a sizeable collection with deliveries ongoing allowing the elder Boeing 737-800s to be returned back to their leasing companies. Despite their influx, TUI Airways has taken on second-hand Boeing 737-800s from other TUI-owned airlines, or different carriers to expand their short-haul network.
Even today, TUI Airways still have a sizeable order of Boeing 737 MAX 8s and the larger Boeing 737 MAX 10, albeit there is no timeline for when the first of latter will be delivered.
Currently, TUI Airways operates 55 Boeing 737s, which includes 32 Boeing 737-800s and 23 Boeing 737 MAX 8s. TUI Airways have 21 Boeing 737 MAX 8s and 18 Boeing 737 MAX 10s on-order.
Tango Uniform Oscar Alpha is one of 3 Boeing 737 MAX 8s operated by TUI Airways, delivered new to the carrier on 24th January 2025 and she is powered by 2 CFM International LEAP-1B27 engines. She is named after France's 4th largest city, Toulouse.

The Tui is one of New Zealands favorite endemic birds, with it's beautiful song, striking iridescence and signature white 'pom pom' throat feathers.
Male Tui has attracted a female. He had been puffed up and singing for almost an hour before a likely candidate arrived and listened to his proposal. She must have liked what he had to say as they flew off together.
Ok. I've been walking around with a camera glued to my hands for just over two years. These Tui birds have always proved tricky to catch. They always seem to position themselves silhouetted against the sun. Finally got one in a more open environment!

Up to five tui are fighting for control of the sugar-water feeder in our backyard, though most of the aggression is shown by two of the larger males. The smaller females, like the one in lower-left, take their chances to sneak in for a drink when the boys are distracted. The yellow crowns on their heads show they're also feeding from flax flowers in the garden.

I could spend hours watching these tui birds in my kowhai trees :-) There seem to be at least three in that one tree most of the time, and I do love their song!

A TUI 787just landed at Greenville-Spartanburg Intl' Airport. Little did I know what this was the beginning of.
The neighbours Pohutukawa trees have finally decided to flower. Along with the flowers comes the native Tui who love the nectar. The blazing red flowers of pōhutukawa around Christmas time have earned this tree the title of New Zealand's Christmas tree. Pōhutukawa and rātā belong to the genus Metrosideros. In New Zealand, this genus is represented by two pōhutukawa (mainland and Kermadec), six species of rātā vine, a related shrub, and three tree rātā.
Mainland pōhutukawa (M. excelsa) occurs naturally in the upper half of the North Island (north of New Plymouth and Gisborne) although it grows from one end of the country to the other. It is easily distinguished from rātā by the hairs on the underside of the leaves.
