Wet Lorikeet

This was taken just after a spell of heavy rainfall and this Rainbow Lorikeet's plumage was a little wet. Close up in note on this image.

Hilton Esplanade, Noosa River, Queensland

These aptly named beautiful Australian birds, the Rainbow Lorikeets, parrots, have incredibly brightly coloured feathers, and a distinctive screeching call.

In Noosa they fly between the Noosa River and the Hinterland feeding on the rich variety of flowering/fruiting trees and shrubs.
