The Pohutukawa and the Tui

The mighty Pohutukawa tree and the beautiful Tui.

Both natives in New Zealand.

I'm lucky enough to have this in my back yard, and during summer (hence Pohutukawa being the 'New Zealand Christmas tree' as that's when its red flowers bloom) the Tui's come to sit outside normally 3-6 at a time singing in the trees and drink the nectar of the Pohutukawa flowers.

Sadly the angle of the light means you cant appreciate the Tui's wonderful blue/green coat, but you can see his distinctive white throat feathers.
