Some fine detail in this Don. The three of them work well to balance the shot. Centre bird is looking sharp.

Thanks Don, just curious what these are doing in Oz because they are a rarity here in the UK.

Not surprised they are rare in the UK, heck of a long way to fly from North Australia.. Thanks Don, just curious what these are doing in Oz because they are a rarity here in the UK.

We get them all the time in the yard. Sometimes they even breed there.

A quick google finds there are nine species, with two in Australia. Well who would have thought! They look remarkably similar with a rather witless appearance - or should I say stoned? Well captured by the way, are you sure they aren't drugged?
