Musk Lorikeet

Musk Lorikeet

A party of Musk Lorikeets were feeding in fruiting trees in pouring rain. These were the only ones we saw in our time in Australia so I risked getting the camera wet and shot some photos against a bleak grey sky. With a combination of tweaking the camera settings at the time and Photoshop settings later, I managed to get a passable image.
