A mallee ringneck parrot in Bruce.
This is one of the four Australian ringneck parrot subspecies, the others being the Port Lincoln parrot, the 28 parrot and the Cloncurry parrot.
Imagine having bluebonnet parrots as visitors to your backyard!
Well @boyfrombruce and @seerr69 see them from time to time in their backyard at Bruce.
I saw them a few times on the weekend too.
Hard to get photos though - very skittish.
Look at this gorgeous creature!
Just look at it!
After years of actively looking for an Australian bustard, I finally found one at Bruce in the southern Flinders Ranges.

I spent some time with my macro lens in the garden at Bruce.
It's such hard work. I delete hundreds of photos before I get one worth keeping ... such as this one of a native blue-banded bee.

For those in SA, I have a photo being shown on ABC TV News tonight before the weather segment. @boyfrombruce and @seerr69 ... you need to watch ... it is one of the budgie murmuration shots near your place! 😀
