Lorikeet Landings

[emfrat]

I bought a solar charged wifi security cam, to get closer to the birdbath, and fluked this sequence of lorikeets landing while I was finding a good viewing spot.

These are 1920w jpegs, so I have just posted the links.

Rainbow1 makes a neat spot landing:

He can't see Rainbow2, but we can - on short final, everything hanging out, no chance of making it.

Rainbow1 makes a clever reversing descent to the lower level, and has time for a smile as Rainbow2 overshoots again.

Rainbow2 finally manages a sort of downwind glide which gets him to where he wants to be.
