'Ouch! Let Go!'
Hi all, sorry had to share another S/C and R/L happening. Today was quite wet and miserable after two days of over 30 degrees so I stayed home and watched the antics of these guys. I didn't expect for the Lorikeet to actually grab hold of the Cockatoo but it had been harassing them for a while to get off the feeder :-) Do hope it gives you a smile!

(Long tailed tits are my favourite garden visitor and we are lucky that they visit frequently. Glad you liked the photo!)

The Lorikeets don't seem to be intimidated by the large Cockatoos.

A great moment to capture Nora and you captured it beautifully girl!
