Fact sheet on Galah compliments Birds in Backyards
the air cool still explains why we're fluffed up some
and the Rosella
Sharing with Wild Bird Wednesday and The Bird D'Pot
the galahs and rosellas are certainly exotic beauties, but i LOVE the subtle and dramatic colors of the first bird!!! wow!
ReplyDeletep.s. your shots of him are in perfect light, too!
ReplyDeleteReally like these. The first shot is so perfect, and the rest are lovely too. Such different looking birds!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful birds! Spring is coming for you and fall is almost upon us up north.
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous birds! The Rosella is so colorful and pretty. Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic bird shots!
ReplyDeleteAll three of these birds are amazing, and you have gotten great shots of them. How are you doing with your camera stuff. Are you getting a good feel for fstop, iso, and shutter speed?
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to be able to view these birds everyday! Lucky you!!!

I haven't seen that black faced cockatoo in my area Carole ... it seems strange to see the rosella shape but in a different colour.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike before. Love the plumage! A handsome bird! The Galahs and Rosellas are beautiful as always!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the birds in the trees. The lighting is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLooking at all your bird photos has me wondering what it would be like living where the birds are not all trying to hide...
ReplyDeleteOh these are such exotic birds! Enjoyed your post very much. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteich bin begeisert von diesen wunderschönen Vögel!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLieben Gruss Elke
Very exotic birds you have there Carol, especially the Rosella - gorgeous colours, and a pink bird, how unusual.
ReplyDeleteThey're all so beautiful!! I can't say there is a favorite this week...but that rosellla is stunning....its markings are incredible.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at the Bird D'Pot this week. Hope to see you again soon Carole.
Whohwhh, so wunderschöne Vogelbilder!!
ReplyDeleteLG Mathilda ♥
I so enjoy seeing and being introduced to birds from other parts of the world and these are all delightful shares~
ReplyDeleteThese are all such beautiful birds to see Carole.. I do envy you.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous birds! I like that Cuckoo Shrike.
ReplyDeleteI love those colorful birds! So beautiful - nice shots of them!
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful colours,but I think I like the top one best. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada,.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing those birds in their natural state,I think the first bird,though,is awesome!Thanks for sharing!phyllis
ReplyDeleteCarole, You really have some great birds to photograph. Your photos are splendid!
ReplyDeleteNice set of pictures - I've never managed to get a decent shot of a Cuckoo Shrike - well done.
ReplyDeleteMy wife tells me I buy far too many books in a "heartbeat" - but I just don't listen!!

Wonderful captures of the Galahs and the Cuckoo Shrike!! I've never seen a Cuckoo Shrike... well captured!! Is that a new lens you have??
ReplyDeleteHello Carol ! Lovely pictures of some colorful birds here - we do not see these birds at my place :-) Thank you for stopping by at my blog. I use a Canon 500D camerahouse and the photo of the gull was taken with my sigma dg 70-300mm lens ! Greetings from Liva
