Eastern Rosella

In my opinion, this is one of our most beautiful birds, and it is also one of the shyest. I waited about an hour for this one to come down to the creek for a drink and bath. They usually need to drink in the late afternoons; their diet of grass seeds is rather dry! Low evening light, and quite a bit cropped off.

Great shot Lou, they are one of my favourites too & I agree, quite hard to photograph. I saw 3 this morning...of course without my camera.

Wonderful bird, youre patience was rewarded with a great capture.
Guest 13-Jul-2006 10:28
I agree Lou, very very difficult birds to photograph, particularly when they are in the open and feeling vulnerable - like this one, a perfect candid and rarely seen moment. It has my vote.
