Popped up onto the front verandah in the middle of the day. Stuck around for photos, then headed back into the garden and then into the bush. Looked to be a youngster in beautiful full colour.

A beautiful example GeeBee. These colours are within the normal range for adults - but many are less colourful. If you keep a copy of images of the face (preferably both sides when you can), over the years you will be able to identify repeat and new visitors. They probably can live for decades.

Location shows as part-way between two houses. Was that your intention?

Thanks Don. Haven’t seen one for the past few years, so great to find that they are still around.
