So wonderful to be able to see this Little Lorikeet which was first spotted here by Peter Miller on 13th May. First time I have seen this species in the ACT. The two Musk Lorikeets were also present, but no sign of the Rainbows or Scaly-breasted. This Little Lorikeet was noticeably smaller than the Musks, and they also appeared to try to chase it away a few times. The two Musks eventually flew off, followed a minute or two later by the Little.
