366 Days of 2012, Day 109 - Rainbow Visitor

It seems our home has become a bit of a fast food outlet to a host of random visitors. The most colourful so far have been the Rainbow Lorikeets, Trichoglossus haematodus.

Both this morning and late evening these noisy squabbling parrots fought and ate and fought some more over the sweet nectar of the palm flowers in bloom.

I love the way the sun just happened to sneak through a gap and bring out the colours in the eye of this one taking a short break from the feast to eye me off.
