Tui, Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae, 30 cm. / 11.8 in. COMMON and abundant ENDEMIC. Native forest and scrub, farmland with kowhai (native tree with yellow flowers), gums and flax; gardens and parks. The tuft of white feathers at the throat is difficult to see against the cloudy sky. The yellow on the forehead is pollen.

A tui feeding on the flower of an Australian waratah in a suburban garden in Hamilton, NZ. Prior to the European settlement of NZ, these were one of our most widespread and abundant bird species. Unfortunately, like many native bird species, they have declined in numbers as a result of habitat clearance and introduced predators and are now absent from some regions where they were once abundant. They have made a recent comeback in Hamilton as a result of effective landscape-scale predator control, enjoying a rich diversity of food resources in suburban gardens.

Tūī, 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.

This Tui was trying to take possession of a kaka sugar-water feeding station. It wasn't having a lot of success. The kaka had it outnumbered, they ignored anything except serious lunges, and continued to take turns feeding.
The first morning I was in Wellington I went for a walk in a nearby park and I could hear a bird singing, but couldn't see the bird, so I waited and finally managed to see it through the trees,
not a good photo, but it was the only time I managed to capture this beauty.
Las vacaciones se acabaron, toca volver a la rutina, clases, compañeros, temario, hojas, mas hojas, montones de hojas....lo que me lleva a pensar como buen estudiante de forestales: De donde salen estas hojas? salen de la pasta de papel, que se produce en una fabrica papelera la cual posiblemente sea abastecida por tren. Este es el caso, en Louriçal, localidad que los gallegos amamos (nos va en ello el maderas nuestro de cada día) existen dos fabricas papeleras las cuales se abastecen de madera gallega, eso permite que todos los días laborables de la semana haya nuestro querido contrabando legal de madera, que si cargado para allí, que si maniobra en Tui, que si trae los ealos para allá.... bueno, un espectáculo digno de ver, el caso es que hace muy poco tiempo, si veo el calendario mi querido conductor Jose Angel y mi no menos querido (querido de estima e!) Agustín nos reunimos aquel día para entre cosas, dirigir el contrabando de ealos, así que a las 10:40 portuguesas nos apostamos en espera del vacío de CP que cruzaría el río internacional hasta Tui. Al rato, disfrutamos de nuestra querida Bombardier 1962.....
Para los perdidos, la foto esta tomada desde el lado español, al fondo vemos el Cais dos soldados (lugar donde arranca el puente) y vigilando el panorama la fortaleza de Valença, un sitio digno de visitar....ya veréis porque.

Was about to leave when these 2 TUI Netherlands Boeing 737's were towed to Schiphol East to get some love from the mechanics before a busy new day starts.

Va fer el seu viatge inaugural l'any 1996 sota el nom "Splendour of the Seas" per a Royal Caribbean, sent el segon integrant de la classe "Vision". L'any 2016 passa a la flota de "Thomson Cruises" que el rebateja "TUI Discovery" i posteriorment "Marella Discovery". Té una eslora de 264 metres, un GT de 69.130 Tm i una capacitat màxima de 1830 passatgers.
After photographing the Masterton-bound train (Previous photo), I continued my daily Walk - which happened to take me past a clump of NZ Flax in full flower growing wild between the footpath and the railway line. I remember thinking that it would have been nice had a Tui or two been occupying the Flax, but: as luck would have it, nothing was there... Ah well...!
Half an hour later, I retraced my steps, and lo and behold: there were two Tui feasting on the Flax flowers...! One took off, but the other held its ground and continued to feast - allowing me the opportunity to snatch four photos before it too decided that there were too many humans around, and with a whirring of wings, it too vanished...!
Anyway... For more in-depth reading about the Tui, you might enjoy having a look at: nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/tui
Thank you for your very kind and encouraging comments beneath my photos ...! Your support is very greatly appreciated...!
This New Zealand native Tui is in full voice, loudly singing his song of whistles and clicks, some of which happens at a pitch inaudible to the human ear. Active and energetic, he will see off other birds and chase them through the tree canopy, darting this way and that at full speed, his short wings perfect for the task.

Thanks for all the views, please check out my other photos and albums.
One of the more common birds to be found in the New Zealand countryside is the Tui. And as is shown here one of the plants they favour to feed on is the flax. As can be seen this one has buried its head deeply and created a bright pollen coloured crown. Until I looked it up I thought all Tui had an orange forehead.
No se que ha pasado, claro, con esto de andar fuchicando con el móvil y sus aplicaciones, que si descargas por aquí, que si actualizas por allá, y después cogerle el tranganillo sobretodo si eres tan zopenco como yo. Bueno el caso es que no se muy bien como pero que me he cargado esta foto de la estación de Tui (España) y con ella todos los comentarios.
por eso pido disculpas a todos los que habéis comentado o "favoriteado" la foto, sinceramente no tengo explicación pero prometo que no volverá a pasar.
Si volvemos a la foto, aquí podéis ver con vuestros ojos a la 1971 de CP arrancando con un corte de ealos cargados en A Susana y con destino Portugal, nuestros compradores de madera a raudales! Pero antes de poder ver como arrancaba tuvimos que asistir a la escenita del factor yendo a buscar a la troupe de la maquina para arrancarla. Se le habían largado a tomar un café!!!
Por supuesto agradecer al factor su amabilidad al informarnos de esta circulación y de otra de Takargo, ademas de los maquis portugueses con los que tuvimos un amigable "bon voyage" cuando salia rugiendo de la estación. Una maravilla, el sonido tan peculiar (pufpufpuf) el humo, el olor a gasoil y el suelo temblando. Todo a la vez, a mi casi me quedo allí seco.
Dedicar esta foto a un gran admirador de estas maquinas André Lourenço y también a Jose Ángel la excursión que montamos. Un saludos a todos.
