Just flying right at me

I nearly freaked out when taking this shot as I didn't expect the Corella to fly right at me and through the camera it looked very close. Having been attacked by ducks, pelicans and magpies I am now a bit tentative about birds in Spring

He didn't really attack, just gave a strong suggestion that I move further away!
