What can I say. That's just a corker of a lens and the lorikeet shot in particular shows why. It's so sharp my eyes are bleeding and then there's that lovely creamy bokeh. As a fellow owner I know you'll have fun with it.

Scaley Breasted Lorikeet I believe? Was this taken at the zoo or do you have them around your area? I haven't seen any of these down here in Melbourne. I've seen Rainbow Lorikeets and Musk Lorikeets (four of them and only once!).

Thanks. The fly was taken in my yard and the Lorikeet in the neighbours. By my reckoning it is a scaley breasted lorikeet as well.

The neighbours feed the birds every day so sunset is VERY noisy around here.
Until our cats move on to their next existance I won't be overly active in bringing the native birdies into our yard.

I think that I am going to really enjoy this lust piece :lol: :lol:
