Seen in our orchard watching me turn over the pea straw to wet the soil underneath. Distinctive longer tail than the Tom Tit, I've never seen one in Western Valley, Little River, Banks Peninsula before.

blurry - moving too fast! but had black back and yellow-orange tones on the breast

This little one was so friendly! It stayed around for hours and even entered our car a few times (the doors were left open), visiting us every few minutes. I guess we were in its territory and it was probably trying to tell to leave because we were cramping its style.

I have no idea what this tomtit was doing, but he/she was frozen like this, posing, for a couple of minutes. It was crazy - for a while I thought it was stuffed and pinned onto the tree. But then it came to, and eventually flew off.

This little tomtit kept flitting from low branches to rocks, and from there it was dipping into a little stream.
