Tauhou translates from te reo Māori "new arrival"
A flash of olive, a ring of white
A Tasman traveler takes its flight.
Tauhou, the stranger, now home in my tree
A silver-eyed singer, wild and free.🌿🍊🐦✨

Sitting by the river behind our house, bird watching. We saw kererū, piwaiwaka, pūkeko and tauhou all flitting about.

Wax eye- Tauhou, these little guys come down from the mountains in the winter and form flocks in the city. I feed them sugar water and they repay me by cleaning up any grubs and insects in the garden.

We've found a tauhou / silvereye nest this week on our daily gardens walk.
There are three babies and today we got to see them being fed 😭.

Not sure what is on these shrubs but it's attracting piwakawaka and tauhou like nobody's business.

Heard a thunk on the door. Wee tauhou looking stunned outside. Took a few photos because I have a felting project I want to do with them, and the references are handy. Just flew back off again.

Caught this tauhou (silvereye) hanging out on the tree outside out window this morning. He was one of about 5 around the place.
