Sorry all - the small lorikeets currently in Wanniassa are Musk Lorikeets, not Little Lorikeets as I thought yesterday with a fleeting glimpse. John Bundock and I have just had a very good look at both birds in his neighbour's yard (which just makes it into my GBS) and he has a definitive photograph. At one stage a few Rainbows landed close by, and the 2 Musks chased them off quite vigorously, even though the tree they are frequenting is not in flower, unlike the ironbarks near the school where the rainbows are hanging about.  (I'm sure the Musks are also here for the flowering ironbarks)
