I had previously drawn a Rainbow Lorikeet at the Australian Museum, so it was nice to draw a live one living locally, even if it was from a photograph taken on the spot.

Rainbow Lorikeet in the park
This Rainbow Lorikeet was busily feeding on a banksia flower in the garden of a local park on Saturday. There were a few on the branches and they allowed us to get quite close without flying away. They are very sociable birds that live in the suburbs.
