The Rainbow Lorikeets are common, social, loud parrots and this one is a regular visitor in my mother’s garden in Sydney, Australia.

These birds are prolific and loud, mostly hanging out in large flocks they can be very vocal about who gets to feed on which flower. This one had opted for a solo meal and was happily feeding on a grove of flowering banksia by itself in the Moonee Beach Nature Reserve on the Coffs Coast, NSW Australia. If you like the coast environment of beach and ocean on one side and nature and mountains on the other, this stretch of coastal reserve, tucked between the city of Coffs Harbour and the village of Emerald Beach on the north coast of NSW, is a great place to walk, wander, swim and surf and has great accommodation options to suit all budgets.

I’ve been flat out with uni while visiting Sydney and I ave only found a few moments to get the camera out in my mother’s garden. The Rainbow Lorikeets are as prolific down here as they are up home and this capture was at maximum zoom as it sat in the top of a white gum. Its nice the way the lovely colours on the breast are displayed and I like its little foot suspended in mid air.
