Terrific selection of images and nice variety of birds Richard. The Eastern Rosella is a knockout! Congrats on the lifer too.
ReplyDeleteThanks John, agree about the Rosella (as did lots of others, voted the prettiest Oz bird not too long ago). Thanks for the congrats, unexpected but knew straight away I hadn't seen it before, even at the time I wasn't sure what it was.
Deletea lovely series Richard, I love the black-shouldered kite and the robins and pardalote too
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole, those three were particularly pleasing and unexpected t the time
