At least I.... (Psephotus haematonotus)

.... got the rump!!!

I'd had difficulty getting really good pictures of Red-rumped Parrots any time I saw them, and this one was no exception. He moved around the car park area quite a bit, and I'm sure he was trying to find the best shady spot (it was very hot that day). I think the best views I got were all those days ago in the Flinders Ranges.

This was my last sighting of them too, strange, Hans found me one on my last day in Queensland!
