During my afternoon walk up to the top corner of our property, I spotted some movement in a flowering Mistletoe. A pair of Little Lorikeets......a smaller cousin of the raucous Rainbow Lorikeet, these birds are very quiet and are usually in pairs and not large flocks. They have just been listed as vulnerable in NSW due to the clearing of hollow habitat trees and according to the Scientific Committee are at a high risk of extinction in the medium to long term.
