Spring is here

Scaly-breasted Lorikeets at their hole
The lorikeets are very active in the park at the moment. The mature trees are a haven for breeding birds. A pair of Scaly-breasted Lorikeets regularly use a hollow in the eucalypt on the eastern side of the lake.


These little birds have to compete with the more bumptious, and therefore more noticeable, Rainbow Lorikeets. They are doing well at Peacehaven.
