A cool and damp walk around half the campus at lunch time, not very far in total and for once I missed out on a visit to the lake. The eucalypts are still flowering, little bits of blossom rain down from the trees as they're chewed up by Musk lorikeets[1] and Rainbow lorikeets[2], constantly shrieking and chattering as they eat and fly between trees. On the ground underneath the magpie[3] are digging in the soft soil, two trios, or maybe a group of six separated either side of the path. The adults are getting that super-glossy look as they build up towards spring time and swooping season!
