backyard birds

Its so interesting visiting a different continent, the regular wildlife seems so exotic.

Today Dan took us to show us his apartment and we had our first Aussie Barbie out the back. These pair of rainbow lorikeets were nesting in the hole of this nearby tree. Around us flew lots of other types of lorikeet, ibis and other colourful ones yet to be ID'd. We went for a long walk in the neighbourhood nature reserve in the nice shade from the beautifully warm sunshine.

Tonight we take few minutes walk to a restaurant in the Eagle St area overlooking the Brisbane River. It is a great modern area buzzing with bars and eateries, we love the view and the pe0ple watching
