I cannot believe that I've not uploaded this image before. It was taken about the same time as the other Musk Lorikeets. Prints have gone into seven local art shows, it has never won a prize, but I like it.
We were lucky enough to be right next to a colony of these beauties when out on a river looking for Hippos - it was a riot of colour even in the bad light !
These beautiful little birds excavate tunnels in the river banks and flood plains where they lay their eggs - a colony is quite a sight !
