Tui In The Garden
Our cherry trees have blossomed a few weeks early this year bringing the tui in to feed. The tui typically start turning up a couple of weeks before the blossom opens, checking the trees out and staking out there territory. If the eastern rosella come in to feed on the buds then the tui will pretty quickly chase them off. For the next two months our garden will be full of tui as the cherries all flower followed by the kowhai. We get 30 or 40 tui in the garden at a time chasing each other about and filling the garden with the magic of their song.
