Wild bird Wednesday 477 - Rainbow Lorikeet

These pictures were taken last week, when it was clear - at least to these Rainbow Lorikeets (Trichoglossus moluccanus) - that spring was in the air.  This pair of birds were investigating a hollow log, probably as a nesting site.  I went back the next day, and unfortunately, the log was free from lorikeets. 

I plan to go back soon, and have a look for this couple!

  4. Stunning colors. Our Painted Bunting has nearly the same palate, but arranged much differently than the lorikeets.

  6. I can never get enough of these birds. When I first saw them in Australia I just couldn't get over their colourful plumage. Perfectly named.

  10. Hello Stewart, your captures of the Lorrikeets are wonderful, and what a delightful range of colour they have. They are just stunning birds.

    As usual I tried to add my post. Blue Tits, is the title, but couldn't do it. Please would you add my link for me. I'm so sorry, but mine was refused.
