Wild Bird Wednesday 374 - Crimson Rosella

The Crimson Rosella (Platycercus elegans) is a wonderfully coloured bird found in eastern and south eastern Australia.  We sometimes get them in out garden, which is a bit of a treat.  These birds were feeding on some short grass at Wilsons Promontory National Park.

The males and females of this species are fairly similar (identical to me!) - but the greener birds in these pictures are immature birds.

    The Crimson Rosella is a great colorful bird! Lovely pictures! It is a big contrast to the Lagopus muta hyperborea from Svalbard :-))

    Most of us can't even imagine having this species as a backyard visitor.
