Amazing colours. Oh, and nicely photographed too K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Amazing birds, superb colours and great photos of them! Very nice work Don and a good reach you had with that 300mm plus TC.

Excellent Rainbow Lorikeet shots. Don. The TC certainly get's you closer than otherwise possible to these birds when using the 300mm.
There's a huge Umbrella Tree at the bottom of my neighbor's garden which attract them in noisy flocks.
I have a number of photos and short video clips of the Rainbow's, none quite as close as your's though.
They also love the Bottle Brush blooms.

A good set Don. The second image stands out well with tack sharp eyes. These critters are just so colourful.
