North Island Tomtit - a photo on Flickriver

I think this is an adult male. Took a walk to the Alice Nash Memorial Heritage Lodge then went down to the Oroua river campsite. While having some lunch I saw this Tomtit hanging out nearby and managed to grab this shot. First time I've seen a Tomtit - they're quite small and although he hung around for a while he kept his distance thus a tight crop!

The tomtit is a forest and shrubland inhabiting species of both native and exotic habitats. It is rarely seen in highly modified open habitats, such as farmland and suburbia. Tomtits have a widespread distribution through the North and South Islands, and occur on some of their offshore islands, Stewart Island, Chatham Islands, Snares Islands and Auckland Islands. Most populations are dimorphic, males being mainly black-and-white, and females mainly brown-and-white. They are often heard giving contact calls or males singing, but are sometimes difficult to see. Individuals can be quite confiding, coming within a few metres. More info at: nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/tomtit
