photographing New Zealand: Winged creatures

7/23/10

I don't usually see more than one Tui at a time, so these three that were having a loud discussion were a treat.

This dock obviously doesn't get much use.

One pair of black swans was preparing to run off the other pair. It was quite a sight.

Jay said...: Three Tuis! And such a pretty photo framed by the ponga leaves.

We lived for a year in NZ, and one of my favourite memories is of hearing (and seeing) a Tui singing by the gates of the kindy my son went to.

Thanks for that! :); Jul 24, 2010, 11:06:00 AM
