Thought he was looking a bit ruffled,

This is very nice jack, superb capture. I might just be tempted with that barbed wire though

Hi Cliff, the wire spoils the photo but they will just not come anywhere near, I have been playing about trying to remove the wire but no luck yet,

regards,
Jack.

Nice shot Jack, if its your fence could you not try getting a branch and fixing it to the post so that they settle a bit higher with the fence out of sight, (I do this all the time in the garden)

Regards John.

Thanks John, yes it is my fence, and I have thought about trying to camouflage it as that seems to be their favorite place, their nest is just below the fence in the slope, although I would like to get a bit closer as 500mm is still not close enough,

regards,
Jack.

I don't mind the wire. It keeps the criminal element out, sometimes. As for the bird, they are wonderful colours. I thought our Australian parrots were colourful, but that one of yours is spectacular.
