Sugar Thieves


Sweet Larrekeets

We're here in Sydney after our early arrival this morning and just getting to grips with the time zone. After having a nap when we checked in to the hotel at 7am we headed down to The Bakers Oven in The Rocks for a quick brunch before I head into the office for a few hours.

While there we encountered this pair of Larrakeets who, after biding their time and scouting out the tables, swooped down and grabbed a packet of sugar from an empty table and headed off to the fence to share it. After finishing off the first one they made a repeat visit and grabbed a second.

They were clearly smart as they chose not to try and wrestle any of M's breakfast from her - she was pretty ravenous after choosing to skip most of the plane and would have had none of those shenanigans!

More of our encounters with the local Australian wildlife soon...

... not everyone can pull off wearing Orange but Connor Kirchman, like myself, is one of them.
