The musk lorikeets have been having a wonderful time in my sister's flowering gum trees. They were hard to spot to photograph except for the patch of red and their noise :)
Great capture and I must be honest and say I didn't see the bird at first. Good camouflage but it's a bit different from us Magpies, we just flap our arms around and make a lot of noise. FAV
Oh how beautiful! Beautiful, BOTH, the birds AND the blooms! Check out my encounter that Anita posted! http://365project.org/aglennc/365/2016-03-16 See the note I added at the bottom!
@Weezilou Ahh! yes Louise, I just had a look and that was the very cheeky rainbow lorikeet known for their antics! This one is the musk lorikeet who is very shy and steers clear of humans :) Thanks for all the visits and comments!
Love the colours, fav
