These set of four were taken recently, within walking distance, on a roadside planting/grevillea.
Then, at full focal stretch, into the tall angophora growing in the rear bushland-corridor. A little curiousity happening towards that hole in the tree. Mind you, I have yet another series of photos which show differing birds checking it out too! Will be interesting to see who eventually claims the rights.
Then, in the golden-hour, just as I was heading out for a walk, the Rainbows had been squabbling in a nearby Bottlebrush shrub and then made it to the house-roof. Aganst a bright sky, but this is what I got ...
Finally, just out the back still, taken a few years ago when there was a feeding-station there. While it attracted various parrots and a sprinkling of other birds, it also unfortunately attracted the Indian Mynah (naturally, they get hungry too!). So, eventually, it was best to do away with the feeder.
These birds are so beautiful in all their gorgeous color. I love these shots - and the lorikeets definitely show a lot of character.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous!! I love the capture where the one is flying!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever find the feathers at moulting time? If you do, your collection would be fantastic, much better than my mostly brown collection...
Haven't found a feather Judy, though I do have a small feather collection recently started. That should be one of my prizes to find a colourful lorikeet feather now, or a rosella.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, Carole. They are so colourful, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteCarole, Your pictures are outstanding! Wow, can't wait to share these with my hubby. Hope you have a great week & THANKS for these colorful beauties!

Thanks so much. They are truly gorgeous. We only see them in Omar's Exotic Birds, a bird store with some beautiful specimens of various hookbills.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the one where they've finally settled on the rooftop! Fun to watch them in the tree hole too!
ReplyDeleteWow you have such amazing photo's here. I love these bright, colorful birds.
