World Bird Wednesday - Green Rosella.
Just spent a wet and rather wild week in Tasmania – one of the endemic species found down there is this parrot – the Green Rosella. Saw these by the road side, hit the brakes and rushed out – two shots later they were gone. The first picture was not worth the memory it occupied – but I was rather pleased with this one. Splendid birds with a bell like voice. I heard them far more often than I saw them, which always seems strange for such a colourful beast. 
WOW, awesome looking birds. Great captures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA very striking and colourful parrot.
ReplyDeleteBTW the garden was invaded by numerous Ring-necked Parakeets this afternoon ... all feeders now empty!
They are so colorful and pretty. Great birds and photos. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNice photos of the Rosellas , Stewart. That's one bird I'd like to see and photograph.
ReplyDeleteLovely birds. Sounds like you still had a good time even though it was wet.
ReplyDeleteLucky you've got that quick trigger finger Stewart. Great catch!
ReplyDeleteGreat birds. Sometimes a quick shot works. The most important shot is in your own memory. Now the birds are in my memory. Thanks for sharing.
