A brightly coloured Crimson Rosella flew down to a low branch next to the track I was walking along at Green’s Bush recently and started to preen. It finished with a vigorous shake of his tail feathers. It was all over in about 10 seconds and he flew off. I was lucky enough to get off a few quick action shots during the waggle.

I agree Ashley…so many about too, but the wilder ones are hard to photograph.

Lucky you for seeing it and lucky us for you sharing it. Keep up the good work. By the way, snowy owls making appearances in our ‘neck of the woods’.

I haven’t seen it, myself, but there have been pictures a in our newspaper. They (or, it) seems to be hugging the lake shore (Lake Ontario of The Great Lakes). It’s a bit odd to see them here so early because the weather, while it’s chilly, isn’t drastically cold. I thought they only came this far south if they had food supply issues they are a big, beautiful bird.
