Rare apple thief for here.

Heard a lot of noise in the backyard only to find several Rainbow lorikeets in my apple tree! It is quite unusual to see them in our south west corner of Victoria, so I was a bit excited! Quite difficult to photograph with branches everywhere and they were at the back of the tree!

Time to net the trees??, nice capture:-)

@hermann yes I probably should Sally but I'm enjoying the bird life they attract! We are getting plenty of apples still :)

Ah, very cheeky of them. I'm sure they're happy you grow food for them. Sweet capture. I like how s/he's in the middle of munching.
