User's notes
Walking along a track I heard the calls of some Rainbow Lorikeets. At first I could not see them, but eventually I noticed one on a small branch. Then I noticed a second one in a hollow. The first bird returned to its mate and briefly preened the other lorikeet before it moved along the top edge of the hollow. After a minute or so, both birds flew to a new branch where they perched side by side before preening themselves.
