This is my favourite tūī (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae) shot from 2018. He looks like he’s spent a lot of time slicking his hair back into a pompadour that’s kind of fallen flat. Tūī are nectar and seed eaters and so are important in the propagation of many New Zealand native plants.
