Lorikeet season
Uploaded: June 21, 2012 01:16:09
As winter sets in, the country dries off and goes to seed, bringing in flocks of bright coloured raucous lorikeets. Our front yard currently is dotted with bright green and red, and blue and yellow lorikeets.

What a wonderful treat to have these beautiful birds flocking in your yard. The only place I see them here, sadly, is in a cage. I'm jealous. Hope to see more great shots like this one Debbie! #10196460Lyn Darlington June 23, 2012
