well, spring is in the air. it’s certainly a lot warmer than it was a couple of weeks ago. i’ve even slept without my socks on for the last two nights. so there. however, it has been really wet and quite humid too so not all blue skies
we’ve all had a good day today (despite the weather). true but not very exciting.
here are some pictures i’ve been saving up for you.
this blossom was on a tui tree in the sculpture garden we went to at the weekend. i don’t think a ‘tui tree’ is a type of tree. but it did have a tui in it
tuis are great. they are much loved and really funny to listen to and watch.
you can read more here and here’s a video of one making some of its funky spacey noises i found on youtube
amazingly they can even mimic humans. this one is in a bird recovery centre up north from where we live. definitely on our to do list.
here are a few pictures i took of the tui extracting nectar from the blossom. he wasn’t quite so talkative !
see ya
