Rainbow Lorikeets are very common in Melbourne suburbs gardens and parks. Taking a picture of this guarded nest was a privilege.

Awesome

Awesome picture. Beautiful bird. What kind of tree is this?

The tree is an old eucalyptus.

What a great picture and thanks for sharing with us.

Absolutely gorgeous! What a wonderful tree and bird.

The tree is as beautiful as the birds.

What beauty!

How did you manage to get close enough for such a great picture? They are beautiful. Hugs.

Actually the nest was 6 meters up from the ground, the camera was an Olympus fitted with a good zoom lens.

So pretty Roberta, we've got a lot around in Newcastle at the moment too. Love Chris

Awesome!

Ha.ha. They are having a townhouse. Beautiful picture

My next door neighbour has a Bottle Brush Tree in full flower at the moment on her footpath. I couldn't count the amount of Rainbow Lorikeets on it when I drove in just now. They are just beautiful.
You are lucky to see the nest.
