More birds come visiting

I have often shown our lorikeet breakfast companions. When we eat out on our veranda it is like we are in among the branches of the trees, we are at the same level. So the birds have all become used to us being out among them and while they are timid of coming too close I have a 200mm lens which allows me to get close to them!
This morning it was a bit cloudy for a while and for some unexplainable reason the birds were out in force - and they were in full voice too! The honey eaters, Indian miners (they are an introduced bird and a pest) and the currawongs were all singing out and trying to be heard over the racket that the lorikeets always make when they come in for their breakfast. The Sulphur Crested Cockatoos were screeching loudly and there might have been up to a dozen of them - they have discovered our lemon tree and although the lemons are still green, they are biting into them and eating the seeds. No lemons for us this year! Even the little finches were chirruping at the tops of their voices too! I did get my video camera out to record some of the sound - but it will be all mixed with the sound of vehicles on their way to work on the nearby road, unfortunately.
We do not get to see Rosellas very often so when they come I always make a grab for the camera.
(Click on these pictures to see them more clearly.)

I managed to get both Rosellas in the one shot - they are two different species, the red headed bird is an Eastern Rosella and the other is a Pale Headed Rosella.

It was difficult to stop taking photos once I had started! Here is the Eastern Rosella out in the open.

And the beautiful Pale Headed Rosella.
These two birds must have formed a bond because they occasionally call in and always the two of them are together. Many times we hear the distinctive call of Rosellas but we don't always get to see them.
Further up the mountain (we are on the lowest slope of Mount Springbrook) there is an even brighter Rosella which is mainly red and rich deep blue but I have never seen it down here. (Less than 30 Km away but it is a bit more humid down here to on the higher slopes.)
