April 5 - Extreme close-up

I was in Sydney a couple of days ago and stepped out on the verandah when this friendly rainbow lorikeet came to see if I had food for him... (no, but I did get a rather interesting close-up as he walked towards the camera!)

January 21 - best friend

Can't help but post some more bird photos for you today

At the coast on Sydney's northern beaches (Collaroy plateau) in winter I came across these gorgeous rainbow lorikeets. They are often quite friendly birds and will allow you to get close if you move slowly and don't startle them. This pair are obviously 'best friends' (though I do wonder what he said...) and allowed me a short series of photos before they flew away.
