Musk Lorikeets are not uncommon in Melbourne's eastern suburbs by any

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:
