Gidday Steve, looks like the Lorries are doing their usual (having a blue).
I have never noticed the Blue tips in the end of the Red Rump Tails before, nice shots mate,thanks.

Good to 'meet' a local. I'll have to visit the swamp near the uni - I haven't noticed it when I've been there. The red-rumps are gorgeous aren't they? We have quite a lot around here (towards Maitland)

Very nice steve. Beautiful colours caught in nice light. I love the RR Parrot. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I liked the view of the red-rumped tails, I had never noticed it before.
The uni swamp is just across the road from the Hunter Wetland Centre. Do one then the other. :)
thanks for the kind comments,
cheers,
steve

HI Steve

smeedingo,
the access is on sandgate road to the left, just before the roundabout that goes to the wetlands centre. You may be able to access it from inside the uni grounds as well, but i dont know yet.

That's a very nice picture of the Lorikeets, Steve and one day I hope to get one of your red-rumped parrots on a card.
