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)
