Well another trip around the G2V class star Sol is about to end, and another one begin. And with 648 consecutive weeks under the WBW belt it's time to start another year. Our little community is exactly that these days - little - but I really appreciate the regulars, new comers and occasional visitors a great deal.
To end / kick off 2024/25 I've chosen that most colourful of birds the Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus). This is a very common part of my day to day bird experience, with it being an unusual day if I don't see or hear some. Actually they can be surprisingly hard to see when they are high in trees, despite their colours.
This bird was (I assume) checking out a nest hole a couple of months ago. What a great bird!

Wishing everyone a great 2025, and looking forward to seeing you each Wednesday. SM
Wishing you a wonderful year ahead. Stewart, aloha

ReplyDeleteAwesome clicks, Happy New Year Greetings
ReplyDeleteI remember them so well, ubiquitous yet ever delightful. I am quite sure that I could see them every minute of every day and never tire of them for a moment. Great pictures for me to gaze upon the first day of a New Year, where it is still dark outside, and there is a little overnight snow on the ground. On Saturday we will be toddling off to Costa Rica. No Lorikeets there but myriad other delights. A toucan or two will be adequate compensation!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour Rainbow Lorikeet,, happy new year 2025 Stewart.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly amazing how easily a brightly colored bird can hide behind one leaf! Here, the scarlet and summer tanagers are bright, bright red and yet very hard to find in the treetops.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird! Best wishes for this new year!
