This glorious King Parrot flew in & landed in the garden 3 mt (10 feet ) from our back door.
It was hard to get set up without frightening him off. As always I had the wrong lens on & couldn't afford the chance of changing & having the visitor fly off.

I didn't see this commentary, so I didn't realise he was in your garden! How wonderful to have them visit, Laine!
We don't have this species, wild.
