'I'm watching you.... (Neophema chrysostoma)

Hi all, another image... but taken yesterday when the sun had shone after 2 glorious days of rain ..70mm ...and still some more to come, so the weather man says! I love these guys as they don't mind me in their patch...I was standing waiting for the 'Flame Robins' in amongst the dense trees and I spotted this one just watching me and watching it's companions foraging on the wattle bush....we now have 7 so maybe more coming in!.....Do hope you all like it!
