Red-rumped Parrot

Or Psephotus haematonotus.
Spent too long around the house today and finally had to get out. Bub and I went for a walk around part of Lake Ginninderra and were amazed at the proliferation of birdlife. These beautiful parrots are so shy and fast, they are difficult to capture with my current equipment, but a male and female pair happened to freeze by the path giving me a chance. As soon as I stooped to get both in the frame they rocketed into the sky. Came home feeling revived by nature and exercise.
