Better Than A Fairy Tale
Could I love this little bird more than the others, well probably not because we have so beautiful birds here in Australia but he would have to be one of my favourite. He certainly keeps me entertained when out and about in our garden. The Scaly-Breasted Lorikeet is a small bird being only 22-24cm in size and is the only Lorikeet with an unmarked green head and the neck and breast has a distinctive yellow scaly pattern.

With my macro photography, I enjoy capturing some of our smallest, cutest, little creatures and flowers. Australia is really unique, with about one million different native species. More than 80% of the country’s flowering plants, mammals, reptiles and frogs are unique to Australia, along with most...
