Larry's Gallery:   Little Lorikeet (1/2)

PSITTACIFORMES: Psittacidae

Glossopsitta pusilla  

I was sitting in the dirt under a bush, taking photos of the birds that came down to drink and cool off at the nearby waterhole, when a couple of Little Lorikeets landed above me.

Unfortunately they never came out into the open and the only photos I managed, before they flew off out of sight, were taken through a gauze of foliage.

Chalk that up as one more of my, possibly endless list of, excuses for poor photos.
