Over the Jun-Jul holidays as a part of my birthday presesnt (which is tomorrow) we went up north on a birding adventure.
I was quite fortunate to get these pics because i had to use my very reluctant sons camera.
Enjoy!

Looks like a wonderful holiday, love all the photos but especially the kookaburra, kingfisher and pigeons! The pigeons certainly look like interesting birds and the little kingfisher has a beautiful blue colour.
That little lorikeet is a really classic pic.
Can't wait to see the rest. Good luck!

They really camoflague well don't they? I saw some similar behavour from an Indian Myna, but not as cool because a lorikeet is way cooler then a Myna, also not sure if you were saying that it's a little lorikeet as in the bird or a small lorikeet, but it's a rainbow lorikeet just to clear my conciense :)
Great set of photos. The kookaburra has a really mad hairdo!
Thanks a bunch Birdie!
Ggreat shots QLDBird, love the Lorikeet.
