CommentI was watching a Platypus along the Baron River when I noticed bits of vegetation raining down on me. The culprits were a pair of Double-eyed Fig Parrots eating the flowers of a tall shrub in the Mabi Rainforest bordering the river. Despite the rainy overcast conditions and resultant high Iso I think the flowers and tendrils frame the subtle colours on the face of the female parrot very effectively
