Some Tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) appear to be resident in Pukekura Park and Brooklands (“the Park”), and several pairs nest there each year. Their number increases significantly from about April as birds arrive from elsewhere in search of floral nectar sources to sustain themselves during the cooler months of the year.
