It was a very foggy start to the morning when I was told "quick there is a Pale-headed Rosella on the wires leading to our next door neighbors house". Lucky for me it flew into our Mango tree near the backdoor where the fog was not so thick, and not looking into the sun as it came up.
Pale-headed Rosella (Platycercus adscitus)
If I duck my head down they might not see me
Looks like it did not work, I'll just have to leave.

You have some great looking birds over there Neil.
Lucky for you, you were able to grab your camera before they took off! They're beautiful birds!
I think it was very well hidden. It was really hard to see what it looked like. I can see from the coments that it is a rare one. So congrats! :)
Oh, what a beauty this is! It pays to be in the right place at the right time, when we can make it happen. Love these shots...
Great sighitng and bird! I am glad you got the photos of this cute bird to show us.
Super shots!This pretty bird looks similar to Parakeets. Are they in the same family?
Excellent sighting! You had to be on the ball to get these wonderful shots. Congrats!
Great captures!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Lucky you!
What a Beauty!
Not sure which I'm jealous of more...the bird or the fact that you have a mango tree.
Awesome! You have such great birds in Australia.
Thanks everyone for your comments.
