Eastern Rosella

Going back to the colourful birds now and the eastern rosella is such a difficult bird to photograph. They are so nervous and as soon as you get close they fly away.

I had to sit on our garden bench with camera in hand, sitting perfectly still and hardly breathing to get this photo.
