Mein Schiff 7 oh nein nicht mein Schiff, so heißt die Tui Flotte die bisher jedes Schiff mit Zahlen benannt hat. Im Grunde ist das Bild nichts außergewöhnliches, denn Hamburg wird jährlich von vielen Kreuzfahrtschiffen besucht. Nur hier schaut genauer hin.

A native New Zealand bird that has a beer named after it.
Easily recognised by the white feather on the chin.

In spring time the tuis get a bit drunk on fermented nectar in the fuschia flowers I believe. Anyway they don't mind people standing under the tree waiting for them.
PS On looking more closely there is a second tui where this one wants to land!
The beautiful Tui is still one of my favourite birds. They look black from a distance, but in good light tui have a blue, green and bronze iridescent sheen, and distinctive white throat tufts (poi). They are usually very vocal, with a complicated mix of tuneful notes interspersed with coughs, grunts and wheezes.

Tui are boisterous, medium-sized, common and widespread bird of forest and suburbia – unless you live in Canterbury. They look black from a distance, but in good light tui have a blue, green and bronze iridescent sheen, and distinctive white throat tufts (poi). They are usually very vocal, with a complicated mix of tuneful notes interspersed with coughs, grunts and wheezes. In flight, their bodies slant with the head higher than the tail, and their noisy whirring flight is interspersed with short glides. nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/tui
Native to New Zealand. As these birds take of really fast and fly very fast it is a bit of a challenge getting a decent BIF shot especially through the branches and between trees. Luckily I don't mind a challenge. This is my best attempt so far (after a bit of PP).
Ulva Island, New Zealand-1613
One of New Zealand's well known birds, also one of the best songbirds around, a must see bird if visiting both the North and South Island.
The Tui is often spotted (and heard) in many settings, both in suburbia and woodlands etc. From a distance they usually appear black in colour with their distinctive white tuffs under their chin, but catch them in the right light and a kaleidoscope of colours and detail emerge!

Tuis are native to New Zealand and are one of the country's most iconic bird species.
They are unique
They have a distinctive appearance, with iridescent feathers that can appear green, blue, and purple, and a white tuft of throat feathers.
Tui are known for their unique and melodious song, which often includes a combination of bell-like notes, clicks, and wheezes. They can serenade you sweetly one minute and sound like a sneeze mixed with a cough the next. They have a vocabulary of more than 300 songs, but can aslo mimic anything from other birds songs to human speeach, cars and phones.
This Tui discovered our feeder within a few months of installation and has been a regular visitor ever since.
We are now slaves to his rampant sugar addiction.
Tui are considered to be very intelligent, much like parrots. They also resemble parrots in their ability to clearly imitate human speech, and are known for their noisy, unusual call, different for each individual, that combine bellbird-like notes with clicks, cackles, timber-like creaks and groans, and wheezing sounds—the unusual possession of two voiceboxes enable Tui to perform such a myriad of vocalisations.
Some of the huge range of Tui sounds are beyond the human register. Watching a Tui sing, you can observe gaps in the sound when the beak is agape and throat tufts throbbing. Tui will also sing at night, especially around the full moon period.
Nectar is the normal diet but fruit and insects are frequently eaten, and pollen and seeds more occasionally. Particularly popular is the New Zealand flax, whose nectar sometimes ferments, resulting in the Tui flying in a fashion that suggests that they might be drunk. Tui are the main pollinators of flax, kowhai, kaka beak and some other plants.
Pronounced Two ee.The Tui is an endemic passerine bird of New Zealand. It is one of the largest members of the diverse honeyeater family. The name tui is from the Maori language name tūī and is the species' formal common name, The early European colonists called it the Parson Bird.

A reflex shot. I prefocussed on the branch as several birds used it before this one. This one stayed less than a second then flew on to the bird feeder with sugar water which I guess tastes like nectar to them. Shots at the feeder itself are just too easy so I don't bother :) Have a good weekend. A sunny Sunday here.
PS if you got a comment

This beautiful bird was gathering nest material at the top of a cabbage tree. May have been telling partner to come over and help, however, no other bird turned up while I waited.
Sorry Flickr told me this failed to load, twice. Then when I reloaded the picture this one was there all along so I deleted the second upload. I hope this hasn't disrupted your contact feed.
The tui is a large honeyeater, 27 to 32 cm (11–13 in) in length. The Chatham Islands subspecies is larger on average than the nominate subspecies, and heavier.
Males tend to be heavier than females. Nominate males weigh between 65–150 g (2.3–5.3 oz), and females 58–105 g (2.0–3.7 oz). Males of the Chatham subspecies are 89–240 g (3.1–8.5 oz) and females 89–170 g (3.1–6.0 oz).
At first glance the bird appears completely black except for a small tuft of white feathers at its neck and a small white wing patch, causing it to resemble a parson in clerical attire.
On closer inspection it can be seen that tui have brown feathers on the back and flanks, a multicoloured iridescent sheen that varies with the angle from which the light strikes them, and a dusting of small, white-shafted feathers on the back and sides of the neck that produce a lacy collar.
