This weekend I got another shot at I think the same Twelve-Spotted Dragonfly with much more detail that I saw last time I was there. Happy for a bit more detail from the telephoto. Wished I could have gotten close enough for the macro lens, but no.
The crimson rosella is a parrot native to eastern and south eastern Australia which has been introduced to New Zealand and Norfolk Island.

I don't look forward to birding when it is darkly overcast because colors are often muted, and my lens works best in brighter light. But on this dark sky day, I found the Vermilion Flycatcher and was very happy I went out. #nature#wildlife#birdphotography#NaturePhotography
