Feathers - Huruhuru

I decided to set myself a little challenge; to photograph as many New Zealand native birds up close, showcasing their incredible plumage in a light that not everyone gets to witness. From afar, a tui appears a simple black, yet up close there is a sparkle of purple and blue iridescent. The kereru, seemingly a grey pigeon with a white chest, however on closer inspection the kereru is almost rainbow coloured.
