Scaly Breasted Lorikeets

Posting early today because I am going to the cinema this afternoon with a friend.

I was so pleased to see this pair of scaly breasted lorikeets in our garden. We don't see them too often, so it was quite a thrill and to manage to get a photo of them too was a bonus.
They are such neat birds and, of course, not seen here where we are! Wonderful capture, Babs!

@bluemoon @dide @carole_sandford @pusspup Thanks. It was a very sunny day and the sunlight was filtering through the trees in our garden.

@olivetreeann You are right Ann they were on one of the branches of our frangipani bush. (one that had died off on the end because the birds always land on it) and were looking down at the bird bath where they were hoping to get a drink of water. They did get a drink but had to wait until a group of rainbow lorikeets had finished having their bath.
