In the huge palm located outside Mike & Judy's bedroom balcony, there is a lot of bird activity going on these days. I don't know whether the lorikeets have a nest hidden away, but they have been very chirpy. Daniel says he imagines this isn't the time for hatching babies, but maybe lorikeets have more than one batch a year.



The masked lapwing I photographed this morning is most assuredly a junior, judging by his fluffy feathers. I wonder where mum and dad are, as we haven't seen them for a long time.
