Chanced upon a group of parrots at Bushy Creek, Box Hill. Very difficult to capture these guys as they were very high up in the trees with lots of leaves and branches in the way. Went back again today and was disappointed to find none.

i know what u mean , we have a few around essondon, i've only manage to see them in the early morning and before sunset.
I only have the the older 70-210, not great detail but i hardly used it.

G'day,

Nice clear, sharp shot, shame about the shadow across the bird...

If you're after Rosella's etc. there's gazillions of 'em in the Sherbrooke forest, just remember to take the BLACK sun-flower seeds, they'll walk past others for the black ones, and then they'll just hang off you

Cheers,

Hi Mudder,

Thanks for the info. I did went to Sherbooke once. My car's engine was so cooked that I had to buy a new one! Some of them would even eat directly from my palm - it is a real treat.

cheers,

Arthur
