The tall red paperbarks (Lophostemon) trees are a spectacular sight and a great spot to observe birds like the noisy spangled drongos, and red tailed cockatoos.

I saw this image and thought I should paint it of how it made me feel; excited, happy and grateful. I love birds and I like to paint them how they sing, joyful at this time of the year (tropical dry season) is when they are the most active, calling Christmas.
