Return to the North

No Tui

This is ( I think) the flower from the NZ flax bush which is in my garden just outside one of my lounge windows. Now the Tui ( a NZ bird for those who don't know) likes flax but in the 18 months I'd been here I had heard one many times but never seen one. After remarking of it to friends 'who get loads in their gardens'!!!! I spotted one on this bush from my window. I ran off to get the camera and of course it disappeared. Many days and many Tui visits later I did snap him and came out quite well. Of course this was before joining Blip and now the Tui is nowhere to be seen. Instead you get to see the flax flower which it loves so much. Such is life!
