Here's your friendly neighbourhood reminder that the New Zealand tomtit, miromiro, has bright orange feet!
My feet feel so inadequate.
I saw this female up the Nina Valley in the North Canterbury mountains last weekend.
A photo of a miromiro, NZ tomtit, side on to the camera. the female is a dark grey bird with a pale yellow breast and *bright orange feet*. (The male has a black back and a more yellow front, and also has *bright orange feet*.)
