Richard:
An amazingly colored fellow. Particularly like the blues.

Wish the head was a bit more our way. Subtle flash work, which I appreciate.

Cheers

pretty sure it's a Black-caped Lory (Lorius lory)

[Richard Unsworth]

Thanks

Yep, easy when you know!
Apparently a very clever bird. From PNG; seems to be very pics of wild subjects!

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely colors and details in this bird. You did nice flash work. Agree on a slightly better head turn.

Someone went mad with graffiti paint by the look of him.....nicely exposed reds Richard, and no I would not of known the ID of this one, certainly not from down under Oz
