Friday Photo: 14 May

Not sure how many people have seen our native tomtit in the wild (miromiro), but it’s taken me a while to get a photo I like. Getting close to small birds in th low-light of our bush, is a bit of a challenge.

This is a male- you might spot part of the white bar just above his beak. The bird is also an insectivore- there are spider web-threads clinging to the side of the head also.

The species is related to the NZ & Black Robin.
