Spotted this Tui eating a cicada (locust) - took him a couple of minutes but I think he got it down whole!
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.

I noticed the baby Kingfisher (Kotare) was in the tree with a parent who was flying off to get food while the baby chilled. I grabbed the camera to get some shots of the feeding process, but what I captured was unexpected. While the parent was away the resident Tui appeared and was not happy with the baby being in his tree. After sitting on a branch, not to far away and yelling at the baby, who didn't take too much notice, the Tui flew over and landed by the baby who probably didn't understand what was going on. When the baby didn't move the Tui swung underneath and gave it a couple of good pecks to send it on its way. This is a good example of how territorial Tui can be. Nature is not always nice.
