Wet rainbow lorikeet

At 2am I awoke from a deep slumber (unusual for me) by such a clatter on the roof. Not Santa and reindeer, but torrential rain. I checked the radar - we were in the red zone. I got up and looked out the window - the street was a river. Somehow I got back to sleep.

In the morning I saw this sodden rainbow lorikeet perched on our arbour. I think it's a young one. It didn't look happy. Check out the extra for another wet bird, on a wire.

La Nina has really got a foothold. If only she'd go where she's needed!
