Description A portrait shot of a tui, south island NZ. I called it the parson cause the colonists used to call them parson birds, dunno how that happened...anyways it's a parson!! which according to my computer dictionary is a clergyman.

Nice shot.
THey would call them Parson birds because the little white tuft on their neck looks like a priest's collar.
