The Eucalypts have flowered magnificently this Winter and these characters need a regular refreshement break after feeding on the blooms.

Hard to see here, but the Scaley Breasts are much smaller. They are not so raucous as the Lorikeets and are much easier to have around.

Cheers All!

 

[Persephone]

Yes Sat, it's nice to have those guys around....unless you're trying to ripen fruit.
The clown, jet fighter pilots of the skies!
Beautiful Birds, we have 7 species of lorikeet in Australia, all stunning.

[Sat X RB]

Perhaps the 'Scaley Breasts' are a type of Lorikeet too. wouldn't know because I hardly ever look at a reference book these days. unfortunate common name tho'. conjures visions of acute skin disease for me rather than beautiful birds.

"... jet fighters"? sure are! especially when they whistle close by one's ears at ninety k's!

and it's the King Parrots that get our fruit here ...

Beautiful photos friends
Keep on showing off our wonderful island full of amazing creatures and plant life, which is truly unique and deserves to be shown off

Swamp Bloodwood blossom...
Something the Lorikeets enjoy for sure

[Persephone]

How about a native bee ( Trigona carbonaria )....with a taste for something exotic.

P.

 

[Sat X RB]

beautiful Bloodwood blossoms! most of the bloodwood blossoms like this we see in gardens around here are from hybrid plants ... so won't seed. none locally in the forest.

lots of native bees here tho'. loveable little insects, somehow!

european bees have almost disappeared in the forest due to, initially, prolonged drought ... then long periods of no food because of extended rain periods. good!

cheers ...

 

[Donald Mallard]

reminds me of the gum nut children persephone,
one of my favourite eucalypt flowers ...

that bee knows whats good by the look,
nice resin on the leaf of your male ,
his pollen sacs look loaded with cannabis pollen ,, hehe ...
