Field Notes

Notes:

You will have to look at the second photo to see the bright 'red rump' on this parrot! This lovely male bird was perched in a tree by Lake Neverfill in Roma and chirping loudly. Apparently they are fairly common in south-eastern Australia but this is the first time I have ever seen one so I was pretty excited.

Great spotting and series; so nice to see the body part for which it's named!
