A few days ago I was sitting outside in the early morning whilst having a coffee, when I noticed all the rainbow Lorikeets eating from this pine, I thought the distance was a bit far for a good pic 63mts (Approx 206ft I Think) , but thought I would take a few shots for something to do, when this female Galah thought she would have a bit of fun with them. She swooped up from behind them sending two of them fleeing, then hovered like an eagle for a second she took off laughing (screeching) to herself and never returned, I think the expression on her face in pic three says it all,

"Got them a beauty"

She probly just wanted them to get off the pine so she could eat what they were but it was quite entertaining to watch.

The 2 Lorikeets on the left just sat there and watched.
