I've just got back from a quick lunchtime visit to see
the Little Lorikeets at Acacia Inlet. Martyn Moffat showed up about 3 min
after I did and we spent a half hour scanning blossom with no result; then
at 1300h heard Little lorikeet calls and located one visually soon after. There
would have been at least three based on location of calls in the tree tops.
Given that they called regularly (not quite constantly
but almost) for the ten minutes we watched it/them, I suspect they were not
present when we first arrived but flew in from somewhere probably close by but
out of hearing range.
They were in the E. bicostata beside Acacia Inlet on
this occasion, in line with the toilet block and where the pontoon used to
be.

Let me know (which I guess you
likely will anyway), as I don’t have them on my list either and I would like the
opportunity not to wait quite as
long as you have (your second time around) to see them (my first time
around).
I’s getting very busy
hereabouts. It will be a full next couple of weeks. Which is always
good. Takes one’s mind away from those dirty dark little corners. :
)) Just not for very long. Poor you…

To laugh often and
much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to
earn the appreciation of honest people and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit
better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have
lived. This is to have succeeded. (Ralph Waldo
Emerson)
