For the past month I've been going to Prince Charles Hospital each day, and have 3 birding observations to make:

-- Saw a Rainbow Lorikeet licking the flowers of a Leopard Tree (don't know the scientific name of this, sorry, but it's a common street tree in Brisbane: deep green bi-pinnate foliage, bright yellow flowers, beautifully mottled skin/bark).

-- Every evening, Scaly-breasted Lorikeets come to the palms outside the lit frontage of Holy Spirit Northside (smaller hospital on the same grounds), but no excrement and almost no feathers are to be found beneath these trees by day.

-- The hospital grounds are bordered by a bush reserve. However, I can locate almost no birds in this scrub. Stick-nests, though, are to be seen in the tallest eucalypts around the grounds.

Cheers,
Judith.
