Day 169: ...do not necessarily stick together
Another stunning start to a Brisbane winter day today. There's often a marvellous dawn chorus, starting with the kookaburras with their tenor-like laughter and they are later joined by all sorts as the sun rises. Today the kookas and the loris managed to stay around for a while, just hanging out.
I took the opportunity to do some interesting cropping to get a slightly different perspective on the loris...let's face it, dear reader, there have been almost as many lorikeets as moon shots on this blog... (oh, wait...).
The kooka offered a few typical poses too, and one we don't often see: the split second before it took off to the neighbour's trees...I believe a less pesky variety of noisy miner resides there (and the loris do prefer the birdseed ...).

Second state of origin match tonight...that generally only matters to followers of rugby league. When it comes to "football" here, we usually stick to our code.

Oh, and my song request was played on the radio this morning, courtesy of Shelley Lloyd, taker of fine bird and moon photos. Very much 'In the Mood' for working today. Thanks Shelley!
