Crimson rosella. Photographed in Queenscliff , Victoria, Australia. These beautiful birds are very camera shy. Although I see and hear them regularly, I have found it very hard to get a shot of one of them. Australia,Crimson rosella,Geotagged,Platycercus elegans Click/tap to enlarge

        I'd call it a reference shot: proof that you did spot it. Things can only go up now :) Posted 10 years ago

The Crimson rosella

The crimson rosella is a parrot native to eastern and south eastern Australia which has been introduced to New Zealand and Norfolk Island. It is commonly found in, but not restricted to, mountain forests and gardens. The species as it now stands has subsumed two former separate species, the yellow rosella and the Adelaide rosella.
