578 RED-COLLARED LORIKEET Trichoglossus rubritorquis
Australia (421)
Was a sub-species of Rainbow Lorikeet but now recognised as a species in its own right. Found in wooded habitats in northern Australia (north-eastern WA, northern NT, and far nw Q). Curiously at end of the dry season many display symptoms of apparent drunkedness, but the cause of this is unknown.
fantastic photographs - the final image is amazing - spotting rare birds must be an exciting experience - congratulations
