Last Chance Birding – Ua Huka

After a wonderful birding excursion with Geoffray, we returned back to our bungalow……..and we weren’t alone!  Much to our surprise, a pair of Ultramarine Lorikeets followed us all the way to the tree outside our room!

These Chestnut-breasted Mannikins are called “vini” by the locals which is confusing as the lorikeets are scientifically called “Vini ultramarina”.IMG_0463 IMG_0464 IMG_0464a
