The Rainbow Lorikeets and the Gymea Lilly
I got lucky when a group of nine rainbow lorikeets rocked up and all got stuck into the lily in our garden.

We have a Gymea Lily in our garden that has grown tall – about 8m tall in fact. At the top is a large flower that has proved to be really popular with all of the local birds. I noticed the birds tend to feed there later in the day and so I monitored the plant with the camera ready to go should any birds show up. I got lucky about a week in when a group of nine rainbow lorikeets rocked up and all got stuck into the lily.
