I heard these guys in our tree the other morning.

| One of the rainbow lorikeets looking shyly at me |
 |
| What'cha pointing at me, mate? |
 |
| Well, ok. Here's my good side. |
And a few mornings ago, I awoke to this fellow outside my bedroom window.
 |
| Now that it's nearly summer, there was enough light for the photo at 6:25 am. |
 |
| His underside - probably not the better side! |
Sadly, a little later, I forgot he was there and walked into his web, destroying it. Hopefully he did another, and didn't go hungry that night because of me!
Finally, for my friends in tropical climes, here are a few shots of our native frangipani (Google tells me, it's not related to the ones we know.)

| It's a tall tree in our backyard, and flowered prolifically a few weeks ago. |

Oh my! The birds are so beautiful! I don;t mind having those instead of the not-nice-to-look-at and very very noisy ones in my garden every day. Sometimes I get so irritated I would go and light a fire cracker to scare them away.
ReplyDeleteThese can be quite noisy too; I heard them before I saw them. But I don't think we can buy firecrackers here, haha.
DeleteWow these birds are so beautiful! Your photos are stunning, Arthur. I wish you a lovely week ahead :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Reader's Tales. Welcome back, I hope you had a great holiday.
DeleteYeah Arthur it was great, thanks so much. You are too kind :)
