A very productive perch you have there Alan.

Slightly soft perhaps but I can see you were battling poor light.

These glorious pink and grey galahs cop a lot of bad press but I think they are one of our most beautiful birds.

Thanks Mick. It is proving to be a popular piece of wood.

I ran a slight Gaussian Blur over the image to give it a softer/glowing look - maybe too much..

Another without the Blur. Yes, sorry, the green things are still there, but I have subsequently trimmed them back

Ah, I'm with you now.

Personal preference of course but I like to see sharp eyes, beak and feet for birds. Yes, I'm nitpicky.

So traditional Mick - unlike you

But yes, I was struggling with the light and shooting through a window, so I resorted to the old adage, 'If you can't hide it, make it a feature'

Agree, they are a beautiful combination of colours, resiliance and ratbaggery ..

Lovely photos Alan. I agree with the Sage, they are a beautiful bird and very intelligent.

Thanks Isac
