Tūī - winter garden visitor

An iconic New Zealand native bird with stunning plumage and song. Numbers have increased significantly in recent years and it can be found in towns, at the beach, in farmland and native bush. This tui visits the garden in winter to strip the mandarin trees of its fruit. Bold and proud it scares the other birds away.

I enjoy capturing mindful moments in nature and among people. Finding the light, colours and emotions that make moments unique and worth savouring.
