Tiritiri Matangi Island: Part 2
Tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) - more Tui photos
Both Tui and Bellbird are naturally occurring on Tiritiri, and since the reforestation of the island their populations have exploded.

Throughout New Zealand, the Grey Warbler is the most commonly encountered native landbird, but on Tiritiri it seemed quite rare with this juvenile and its parents being the only ones I saw in 3 days on the island.
