We hadn’t noticed the hole in a fork of the tree behind our house until a Rainbow Lorikeet was paying it a lot of attention. A longer look confirmed that a couple were nesting in the tree.
I needed an excuse for a new camera (another story) and a little patience was easily rewarded with the video below. We’re now waiting for the offspring, which surely are on the way.
