This Tui has been a daily visitor to a Gisborne garden for twelve years, is very tame and will drink from a cup. Other tuis come and go but this one is a visitor throughout the year. Each autumn as his age increases his moult becomes more severe. A loud whistle will always bring him from a nearby hill and his evening song at close quarters is a great delight. Photo Keith R. Wade.
