Still March, still 2019, but a wet interlude for a visit to my aunty in (South) Grafton. She has lived there a long time and has the benefit of open paddocks over their back fence which is part of the rodeo complex and rugby grounds. A nice country outlook and environment.
This post begins with a continuation of the final theme from the previous post, and mainly features rainbow lorikeets. Certainly with photography of birds I have tended to be out and about when it is dry ... out of respect for my camera quite apart from not being keen to get wet myself. Usually photographing rainbow lorikeets is about featuring the vibrancy of the "rainbow" colours. They are incredibly vivid and worthy of being highlighted. Many photos I have so far feature individuals or pairs. So this selection offers something different. Yes, still some individuals, but drenched; also quite a group enjoying a feast in the field. Nonetheless, the lorikeet retains their cheekiness and "rainbow", just with less vibrancy than on a bright clear sunny day. Such is the broad wonderful pallette of nature!
I will let these selections speak without further commentary other than to point out the three non-lorikeet photos included: the lonely little house sparrow, the sharp-eyed noisy miner and the black-faced cuckoo shrike. Enjoy the spoils of (even) a rainy day!
