When I saw this series yesterday, I pretty much knew it would get the recognition it deserves...well done, Stephanie!
Thank you Neil! You are right, his colors are very similar to the rainbow lorikeets, but he is much smaller, and I didn't hear a peep from him;-)
What a lovely spotting. He's beautiful. The colours remind me of rainbow lorikeets, but I'm sure this little fellow is much quieter and has far better manners. Congratulations, Stephanie, on you SOTD.
