This post is devoted to the scaly-breasted lorikeet. It has been a real treat to be obersving more of these around our garden in the last 6 months or so - long may it continue. While they bring out the most feisty behaviour of the rainbow lorikeets, this particular day, they had the spaces to themselves and that allowed for a more calm presence. This offered a great opportunity for some nice portrait moments ... I hope you enjoy ... 😁
While the scaly-breasted lorikeets have become more frequent visitors, the white-headed pigeon is not so frequent in our yard. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is the first one I have photgraphed other than on electricity lines out the front in any proximity to our place. So presenting itself on our front birdbath was a real treat. Nice to get such close portraits and capture subtle shifts in posture and sight - the contrast of various reds and pinks against the white and grey, and even the variants of grey in the soft light is a treat.
