Tui sang for me

Or so it seemed.

I was having breakfast on the balcony from my study and really enjoying the loud singing by unseen Tui; at least half a dozen, I thought. One flew out of the tree to the right of where I was. It alighted on a branch in a Kanuka tree to my left. I got my camera, and because it was barely daylight, wound the ISO up to 64,000, and took the one photo, serendipitously as it pausedin its singng.
If you are able to do so, look at the photo on full screen.

Our friend J joined us for lunch, and it was an excellent meal planned and cooked by S. I did organise the roast veges, which unfortunately resulted in the broccoli being rather overcooked. The others were good.

We sat outside at the table on the back deck. And even when there was a huge downpour, there were no leaks.
