When a tui stares at you like this it's clear that they're not too far removed from their ancient dinosaur cousins!
During my time in NZ last year I wanted to capture all the beautiful native birds but I didn't manage to photograph many as hoped as they never stayed still long enough, or I had the wrong lens on! But while waiting to meet a friend for lunch at Petone this Tui decided the tree next to me looked very tasty so I got my shot!
Tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae), one of New Zealand's native honeyeaters, are important pollinators of native forest flowers. The tui's beak is perfectly shaped to fit into the harakeke, or NZ flax, flower from which it feeds on nectar.
They are intelligent, aggressively territorial, and are said to be able to imitate the calls of nearly every other bird, as well as a vast array of other sounds.
Today's post features TUI's stunning 787-9 Dreamliner as it takes to the skies after departing from runway 23R set against some atmospheric clouds.
Tui are endemic to New Zealand and they're in the honeyeater family. I saw Tui birds 6 times or so and I thought they were black birds. With a flash I could finally see the Tui's colors and iridescence.
A photo of a Tui in a Kowhai Tree. The Tui has a white tuft of feathers on it's throat and that's why it was once called a Parson bird by new English settlers. Photo taken at Wellington, New Zealand

A large dark honeyeater with a decurved black bill, dark brown eyes, black legs and feet, and black head, underparts, wings and tail showing iridescent blue-green on the head and wings. The upper back and flanks are brown with a bronze sheen, the nape and sides of the neck have filamentous white feathers, and there are two curled white feather tufts on the throat.
I was busy photographing ths pincushion protea when a Tui arived for a spot of lunch. They dont normaly like people near but this one didnt seem to mind.
In het weekend van vrijdag 22 /23/24 December 2023 , reed de eerste TUI ski Express van het seizoen 2023/2024
Op vrijdag avond waren de eerste wintersporters vertrokken naar Oostenrijk, Eindbestemmingen Bischofshofen en Bludenz
Waar deze op zaterdag ochtend aankomen , omdat dit de eerste trein vertrok deze als ledigmateriaal weer van uit Oostenrijk naar Amsterdam , zo kon ik deze fraaie trein te Hedel op 24 December 2023 vastleggen met als tractie de Train Charter TCS 101001 , Tot aan de grens had de TCS 103003 (101 133) deze trein gebracht
Tevens is goed te zien dat de weilanden het steeds moeilijker krijgen om het vele water te verwerken
I love all the greens here in this moment. New Zealand is known for its rain and lushness and the tūī blends in so well.
I was in heavy foliage with low light when the tūī flew in and landed on a moss covered rock. At first to my eyes, it appeared black in colour, but then as it changed position it shimmered blue, green and bronze. And of course I saw the conspicuous white throat tuft of feathers. They are lovely honeyeaters.
I got to hear its complex call as well, a mix of musical notes and random sounds. And I've read that they have been observed mimicking human speech.
This is subspecies Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae ssp. novaeseelandiae seen on the north island.
Around 25 cm length.

Typically, where there are native Kowhai trees you will find the endemic Tui feeding on the nectar. This was taken near the Hamilton gardens.
Two Tui's in a feeding frenzy in a very wind blown spring blossom tree .... not the sharpest image but still worth sharing I think!

One of New Zealands most colourful birds and a true songbird with a vocal range far beyond human hearing.
Iridescent "shawl" feathers of the tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae). This one is a regular visitor to our garden, currently feeding on nectar from flax flowers.

Another shot of our Kowhai tree, this time in flower in early Spring last year with a large Tui feeding on the sweet nectar.

A large male tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) fluffing himself up and singing loudly to assert his territorial dominance as his mate flies in to join him in feeding on nectar from the flowers of a waratah. Their effectiveness as pollinators is clearly evident in the form of yellow pollen - probably flax - around the base of the bills of both birds.
I can never get a good clear shot of the Tui's, as soon as I point the camera they are off! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tui_%28bird%29
