Eastern Rosella

I'd been hoping to get better photos of the rosellas somewhere, sometime, and, when walking around Rathmines, Lake Macquarie recently, I could hear them out there.

Eastern Rosella Platycercus eximius is a medium-sized parrot, with amazing vivid, colour contrasts.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
