Mike's Stuff

These guys are loud and were sitting on a tree stump next door.

Bit easier to track as was flying away.

Noshing away across the road.

Just some Lorikeets :) Noshing on Paperbark flowers   Just enjoying the ride.

Clear sky so thought i will have another crack at Jupiter and its moons. Moons are nicely in a row. Thought i would try some video.. bit of shake but can see them OK. New years pics of Jupiter  here

Spotted this dragon fly in the neighbours yard, so took a vid. Vibration reduction going over drive. .

Have seen this lorikeet with the damaged beak around the area. Was just chilling then a friend joined in.

No clouds that night. Blue Filter

Took these while i could as clouds started to roll in. You can see them drifting across the face of the moon. Red Filter

Acrobatically noshing on a mango.. so great to watch these birds.

Tooks some videos while we had some clear skies. Moon Waxing Crescent  31% Visible.   Blue filter   Red filter

Some more of these stunning birds. Mango trees attracts them all.

Spotted these noshing on mangos in the backyard. Don't often see these birds around. Absolutely stunning colours.

Getting on into dusk so light not that great,

Started with this one. Still preening.

Decided to perch in the mango tree.

Goose decided to rest up in the mango tree. Photos after the break.

Stayed still for a nice zoom in. Photos after the break
