One of the most potent joys of living near a bushland park lies in the wonderful opportunities it presents for bird observation and photography.
Recently I was able to observe a beautiful Rainbow Lorikeet eating nectar from a Banksia tree. This all happened beside the river baths where I swim almost every day from Spring to late Autumn.
Don’t you agree that Australian parrots rank highly in the scale of the world’s most engaging birds?

Thanks, Joshi! š
Beautiful photograph, Margaret. We don’t see lorikeets here, although everyone else seems to. Maybe we just don’t have the right plants. Lisa
Thank you, Lisa. š The lorikeets love our neighbours’ Grevillea, as well as the other natives in the park. š
