That are some fine bird shots Bruce, gorgeous colors.

You did really well to get such beautiful captures. Rainbow lorikeets don't stay still for long, as you would know. Another confirmation that the 55-300 is next on my list. Very fine shots, mate.

Thanks all for the comments. They are a beautiful bird, and , in my favour, the abundant fruit keep them very occupied for quite a while.

Beautiful colour there.

This means that the habitat is rather wet and humid to render the bird colourful.

Colors are exotic, Bruce. Let's break out some exotic tropical drink . . . containing some Captain Morgan.

Super colours! Totally out of my current world

Thanks guys, , that tropical drink sounds OK.
Yes they are a beautiful bird, but somewhat very noisy.
I have had a couple of Female Bower Birds (very rare to see) visiting as well, and have been trying to get a shot but they are extremely timid, they stay deep among the leaves.
