The Crimson Rosella (Platycercus elegans) is, to say the least, showy. It shows a range of colours over its range, but the ones in my part of the world fall into the Crimson Type! Elsewhere they run to yellow and orange.
As you can see from these pictures these birds were feeding on the ground in the rain. I rather like the way the raindrops have beaded on the feathers. The light was pretty dull for these pictures, but I do like them.
These pictures were taken at Wilsons Promontory National Park - which is very close to being my favourite place. I'm going there (again) this weekend!
