Awesome series.
Thanks for your comments... details amended!
I am definitely no expert, I just looked it up on the internet is all.
Lovely. For the Scientific name it should only include the Latin, and it would be best to type it out in full, because otherwise, no one except experts will know what the T. h. stands for. If you are sure about the subspecies, here is my suggestion. For common name: Swainson's lorikeet (rainbow lorikeet). For scientific name: Trichoglossus haematodus moluccanus. Cheers
Nice photos! Looks like they found a nice dinner there :)
Grate series!
