I'm always amazed by how much expression birds can have , look at the difference between a relaxed look and the angry look on the face of this Scaley-breasted Lorikeet
only seconds later , when a Musk Lorikeet tried to land next to it.

Angry Scaly
Even the young Musk Lorikeet has a lot of facial expression on top of speading it's wings to look big enough to scare the Scaly

Beautiful closeups .... Just looking at the Scaly's eye, I can sense the change in emotion from contentment to discontent!
You are so right , I just had a closer look at the shape of the eye, the first one is round and the second one eliptical.

Great close-ups, Araminta. What camera lens combination did you use?
Thanks ndmansfield, I use a SONY SLT-A-77 V , and a SONY 70-400mm F4.0-5.6 G SSM lens.

Thanks for the prompt reply Araminta. You've done a great job with your equipment and I'm looking to buy myself a new camera and lens, but I'm at a loss as to what choice to make.
