Tūī are synonymous with the Wellington region, and its inclusion in this series had to be acknowledged as their playful aerobatics and cheerful song can be heard from dawn till dusk. 'Tūī' being the fourth in the Avian series has me searching for a playful yet refined image continuing the repetitive circular motif and dramatic sky.
