[loose cannon]

Onya Mick, great capture. I'm pleased with your efforts to date. I just read Anna's post and we had a bluey named RAMBO. (Real Aussie Male Budgie Offspring). He was a real conversationalist - talk his head off. He ventured outside on the wife's head and haven't seen him since. To a magpie, they are peaches and cream.

Sorry to hear about RAMBO. Great name for a budgie. Cheers Isac.

good job

is thrilling to see a flock of wild budgies

Thanks Stephen. I arrived at this sandbar in pre-dawn light, hid as best I could under a tiny sapling all of a metre tall (lol) and waited to see who/what would turn up. I was surprised and thrilled to find myself surrounded by a large flock of budgies.

A major first for me. Never see budgies around here, must be little water elsewhere. Great first day back into birding woo hoo!
