Scaly-breasted Lorikeets (Trichoglossus chlorolepidotus) at nest hollow Murrays Beach NSW Australia
Scaly-breasted Lorikeets (Trichoglossus chlorolepidotus) at nest hollow Murrays Beach NSW Australia Canon EOS 7D Lens 400mm L USM ISO400 F8.0 1/400 available light 23 January 2012 5.52pm
Yet another visit to Murrays Beach on Lake Macquarie weather has not been kind and I am itching for better light. This a different couple to the earlier posting. Particularly liked the pose of the right hand bird as it shows the crown of the head as side on images miss this aspect..such a delicate variation in feather colour and for me part of diagnostics.
Thanks for viewing

The alternating head angles work very well plus you have the right amount of juxtaposition between the two birds. I like the vertical comp...although I think it could use a bit more room above (not much needed). I also like the perch and tree overall. Vivid colours!! I detect some noise (more than should be at ISO 400) and coarseness to the plumage.
