Platycercus eximius. Wamboin. 2012

Wary birds, so happy to get this one for the record, even though the light was a bit uneven and the images are a bit soft

Beautiful colours Alan. I like the texture of the tree in the background as well

They look pretty good at this size Alan. The tree works well as a background. I have rarely seen these up here although their range is supposed to extend to South-East Queensland.

Nice set. Like the last one with the nice background. The number of times I've had them at a hollow and they spot you a mile away before you can get anywhere close enough. Secretive things they are (but love them). Maybe the top two would be clearer if not cropped as much? Assuming they're cropped that is.

work ok as record shots, I was going to comment that the first one looked a tad soft around the face, but you already mentioned that. better to have them than not I say. so well done
