Wow...is this ever a great shot of the two Wattled Cranes, Steve! You nailed the sharpness of these two beauties, and I really like how they are positioned.

Scaly-breasted Lorikeets having a splash in the bird bath, taken in our back garden this (dull) morning.:-)

The Scaly-breasted Lorikeet is Australia’s second-largest species of lorikeet, behind the Rainbow Lorikeet. Instead of the Rainbows’ gaudy coloration, Scaly-breasted Lorikeets are mostly emerald-green, with yellow scalloping on the front (the ‘scales’) and a coral-pink bill. Like other lorikeets, they almost exclusively eat nectar which is usually gathered from the flowers eucalypts, banksias, paperbarks and other native trees and shrubs. These lorikeets often associate with other species of nectar-eating birds, especially Rainbow Lorikeets, and they are often seen squabbling noisily with them in the canopy of flowering trees.

Cheers

Dennis

Dennis, your backyard birdbath serves as a great setting for these beautiful Scaly-breasted Lorikeets. There is definitely plenty of gorgeous color in these two images!
