Rainbow lorikeets are medium sized, colourful birds native to Australasia. Both sexes have a very bright, multi coloured plumage. The head is a deep blue with an orange beak and red eyes. Juveniles can be spotted by their duller plumage and black beaks.
Rainbow lorikeets are classed as true parrots, as their beaks have the characteristic curved shape. Breeding can take place at various times in the year but is usually in the spring. Pairs are monogamous, keeping the same partner for life. A pair will nest in hollows or cavities in trees and will defend their nesting area aggressively. During incubation the male will bring the female food and once the chicks hatch both parents will feed them.

After a break which has been far too long due to nerve issues in my right hand & arm which I had treatment for last year, I had the opportunity to try takeing some shots on a day out with my son & his family to Twycross zoo still not 100% but I will try again hopefully.
One of a number of leopard species, this leopard is considered to be the most endangered of all big cats with only between 30 and 35 left in the wild. Their coats are a creamy gold with large, widely spaced rosettes. Their coat grows up to 7cm in length during winter making them well adapted to the harsh, cold, environment they inhabit.
