    At least I....

    .... got the rump!!! I'd had difficulty getting really good pictures of Red-rumped Parrots any time I saw them, and this one was no exception. He moved around the car park area quite a bit, and I'm sure he was trying to find the best shady spot (it was very hot that day). I think the best views...

    Then we were one a real hunt for the Red-rumped Parrot as Hans was determined to try and find one for me, when suddenly one landed on the telegraph wire not too far from where the Dollarbird was!!! Sadly, again the light was not good from where we were, but at least I saw one and got a shot of it.

    The last bird, before leaving the Cypress Trail was a Red-rumped Parrot. Now he really was being difficult, think he was trying to get as much shade as he could... I tried different angles but this was the best I could get of him. Interestingly, the first time I saw one of these was my last...

    This is what it looks like in avian terms. Not doing too badly at it I guess. Red-rumped Parrot and a couple of Galahs. I took this picture at Rawnsley at the end of October, when we'd not even heard of this term LOL.

    Back view again

    Coming round a bend in the track we came across a small flock of Red-rumped Parrots with a couple of Galahs sitting in a (very) dead tree! I'd seen the first of these parrots just days before on my last days in Queensland and all I got then was a rear view... it does show the red rump though LOL.

    We got back to the museum and Mr Red-rumped played ball by sitting on an overhead wire. I'm still not great at that sort of picture, but at least I've got some of his colours, you can just make out some red feathers covering his rump. The female was also visible but at the nest box hole, so I...

    I'd been sat at the side of a muddy puddle for 5 minutes when a pair of Red-rumps turned up. This is going to be exciting I thought. Three hours later I'd seen two more birds!
