Comment | The depicted birds are of the Western Australian subspecies, Neophema elegans carteri. On this occasion, at the normal corner of my haunt for this species, 3 Elegant Parrots of the Western Australian subspecies carteri came out from among the shrub in the gully behind me, alighted in front of me and began to feed on the ground working themselves up a slight slope to their favourite grass paddock. The surprised and alert look of the erect bird is a result of it hearing the shutter start up. Still, the pair stayed quietly feeding for some time, but in my view the first image as seen here was the better one due to the erect and enchanting pose of the parrot. Time of Capture 08:30. | ||||||||||||||||||
