present. They're everywhere!


I know that this thread has mainly been talking about Musk Lorikeets in SW NSW, but the comments seem to have spread their wings a little.

Here in South Australia there have been many Musk Lorikeets in the mid-north area around Clare. The numbers have been quite high for at least the last six months.

More recently I saw and heard dozens feeding in some street trees (mainly bottle brushes) in Victor Harbor (about an hour south of Adelaide).

For those interested I have written about this species in the following blog articles. It's worth having a look just for the photos:
