Pale headed rosella

We were expecting a cyclone to cross the coast and head towards us yesterday. Turns out it changed direction and it's not even raining now. But we did get two inches of rain yesterday which is great because we really needed it. The birds loved it, this little guy hung around for a while but kept an eye on me while I kept shooting away. You can see the water dripping from his beak and tail.
The good news is we still get to go camping this weekend!

Thanks so much for putting my "butterfly on chives" on the pop page :)
Beautiful colors

@timandelke With the cold you are enduring I can see why you would say poor wet bird but it's so hot that he/she would have been loving the rain ;-)
