After taking the Circle Island Tour of Rimatara, it was time to get our first glimpse of the beautiful native Lorikeets.  We already had a morning birding tour booked for the next day with the resident guide, Mooroa Tiraha so decided just to take a short walk towards Anapoto to the nearest banana patch.  It didn’t take long before a pair of Lorikeets came down for a quick bite before settling in for the night.  Having gotten my first close up photos, it was back to the bungalow to watch the sun set.

You can barely see an ‘oromao a.k.a. Rimatara Reed-warbler hiding in this tree!

He’s had enough so good night!
