The Tasmanian subspecies of the Eastern rosella (Platycercus eximius diemenensis) is a regular visitor to my yard, as it is around much of Tasmania. There is a mated pair that often visit and forage, occasionally they’ll hop onto the feeders too. Occasionally they’ll jump on as a pair, though usually they take turns to swing off of my archway.
They don’t usually glow, though. Or at least, they don’t usually *appear* to glow. This is probably the first daylight (partial) biofluorescence in the species, captured this afternoon in my back garden. I’ve been working on this for some time, so to finally get some results is really very satisfying.
