just spent Christmas back in New Zealand visiting our Son, and Daughter, and of course Grand Children, and got these photos of a Tui, which I think is quite beautiful, and a little unusual.
I think that most people will not have seen them before

Great pix. Here is a more ubiquitous kea at Arthurs Pass. More colorful, but somewhat a pest, always scrounging for food. This one tore a whole on the surfboard cover on top this car.

Tui has some beautiful plumage and feather patterns which one would not notice from a distance. Wins look iridescent! Thank you for sharing these nice close-ups.

Thanks for tha reply Carlysue, I must agree re the plumage of the Tui, when you see them in flight,you would say that they where Black, except for the white around there necks, but if you can see a close up,well its so different,we had very many visits from the Tui, but they always seamed to get behind flowers,and small branches, so getting a reasonable close up as difficult,i just got lucky, glad you enjoyed, Colin

Davefales,thanks for looking, and yes i have seen some Kias on the lookout on Arthurs pass, they are sure nice to see, BUT a real wild cat on the roof of the car,would save some damage being done,cheers Colin
