Hollows were being explored by rosellas, lorikeets and tree-creepers.

| Surely bigger than you need Crimson Rosella? |
 |
| Rainbow lorikeet |
 |
| A White-throated treecreeper disappeared into this hollow with some nesting material |
 |
| This Eastern Yellow robin visited the nest briefly. Closer inspection revealed no eggs at this stage |
More photos and a little video (I was immersed in forested gullies and bird calls) to follow!

Bird on!

I would love to be there during your springtime, to see these lovely birds. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteYou have such colorful birds to photobraph. I love the rosella! We went to a zoo in Kansas City, MO and saw lots of lorikeets. They were so pretty and so loud!
ReplyDeleteThese are great, Pete!! I'd love to see Rosellas & Lorikeets in tree hollows. I have to be satisfied with the many who visit our only Grevillea in our backyard to feed on the nectar from the blooms.
ReplyDeleteWe have a huge nearby (about 800m from home) Lorikeet roost consisting of thousands of Rainbow and Scaly-breasted Lorikeets and there is quite a racket as the sun sets each afternoon.
You just beat me with your post!!
The parrots are gorgeous! The colours are so beautiful.
