Tui

A cold bleak day today - such a contrast to the beautiful day yesterday. Blipmate and I went for our usual Saturday blip hunt walk  but I didn't see anything in particular I wanted to photograph.

Home later, I spotted a pair of tui ( is tui a singular or plural noun? Should it be tuis I wonder?) at the feeder. One was feeding busily and the other one which you see here, was waiting its turn. Not sure why it had its tongue out unless it was in anticipation of the sugar water to come. It looked a bit silly just sitting there with tongue at the ready..

In the extras is the look it gave me. I think it looks a bit sheepish at being caught out.
