An afternoon walk in Shepards Hill Consrvation Park provided plenty of opportunity for photos.
I hadn't been there for a few months, and it dried out considerably, but the Rainbow Lorikeets were still around.
Also saw a couple of birds that I hadn't seen before (posted in Identifications) so had a very rewarding afternoon.
Just gorgeous, the colours are amazing. And look at those wings.

Thanks Shoop,
They were in the shade on a quite bright day but the fill flash has brought out the colours beautifully.
Beautiful photos, especially that underwing shot.
They look like they've just had a bath...

The third photo looks like it was taken on the red carpet - such posers!
Beautiful photo's Rick!
Take Care,

They were being very active. Lots of squwarking and preening. I wonder if it is courtship behaviour? Have no idea what time of the year they breed but there did seem to be quite a few pairs around.
