Scaly Lorikeet

Although we have some great sites nearby up here in Brisbane, we do miss the Scalie Lorikeets that came to the baths on our back deck. This fine fellow found breakfast in a tree at Sandy Camp Road.

Comb-crested Jacana

Its the season for the youngsters and boy, that is a face only a parent could love! But the adults back feathers are glorious.





















I can't resist Jacanas with their giant lilly-pad hopping feet. We thought they were insectivores until we got home and saw the fish!
