It is bright and vibrant with a light hearted look at this fascinating native bird.

Through the books 76 pages the reader will see the effects of the Tui colour under different light conditions, and when to capture the best "Tui Light".

The feather colours are amazing, from the soft fluffy brown of the body, the azure blue wing & tail, to the myriad of Paua-like colours in between.

The stunning series of bird bath photos will make anyone smile and the Tui antics are quite incredible.

Next we learn in a photo journey just what they eat around the garden: bird of paradise, flax flower, bottle brush, Puriri, kowhai, pohutukawa, waratah, karo and lastly munching on some insects.

The next section begins with shots of a Tui's first flight as an all black bird and then covers the transition step by step over eight pages into one of the most beautiful birds in the world.

The final section reflects on the Tui's aggressive nature, fluffing up when protecting their family food source, and loudly flapping their wings at any threat.

This is a book for everyone with just a few facts, observations and not technical at all, giving the reader a rare opportunity to enjoy a photographic Tui journey that is the result of months of patience with the camera.

It's the perfect gift, to yourself or someone special in your world.

The book will also make a great gift for a tourist or family member overseas.
