Tui are a native bird to New Zealand, as is the kowhai tree they are sitting in. Hui is the Maori word for meeting, and I though this was so apt. Taken in Hamilton, NZ
Crossing the Bridge
A Boeing 767 owned by Privatiair but leased by TUI Netherlands on the bridge of Taxiway Victor, the special colors are a bit of a let down, especially because in the "contest" better designs were suggested

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.

Tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae), Auckland, New Zealand
Ebird checklist:
A large, dark nectar feeder endemic to New Zealand. Easily distinguished by two curled white feather tufts (“poi”) visible on the throat. Tail and wings have blue, purple, and green iridescence. Found throughout much of New Zealand, including Auckland, Kermadec, and Chatham Islands, though mostly absent from Canterbury. Favors native forest and scrub, also venturing into suburban parks, farmland, and rural gardens. Often detected by its unique voice consisting of melodious notes intermixed with croaks, coughs, clicks, and wheezes. Also listen for its noisy whirring flight. Similar to male Eurasian Blackbird, but easily identified by its white throat feathers and iridescence. Song can be easily confused with that of a bellbird, but listen for distinct loud coughs, grunts, and wheezes in Tui song.

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.
