Scaly-Breasted Lorikeet

Scaly-Breasted Lorikeet

Location
Peak Crossing, Queensland, Austraia

Description
A whole flock of these Lorikeets flew into feed from a large tree one afternoon. The birds seemed to be very tame so I managed to sneak up close to one of them with my 55-200mm lens and take this shot of its brightly coloured head and chest feathers.
