Squeals of delight – Rainbow Lorikeets!

The chortling and squealing sounds made by these two (juvenile?) Rainbow Lorikeets alerted me to their presence on the drinking dish in our back garden. Taken from the bedroom window with Canon 7D and Canon 300mm F4 L with the tripod foot resting on the window ledge to reduce camera shake. It was a dull, overcast day so there were no harsh shadows to deal with.

The blurred head due to the slow shutter speed (1/250) looks quite spooky!

They were very playful and appeared to delight in grooming each other.

Cheers

Dennis
