Making life difficult (Platycercus elegans adelaidae)

Really not the greatest of pictures, but the best I got of this Lifer that day, and didn't really improve on that at any time during my time in South Australia.

This is a Crimson Rosella, a large group, with Adelaide being part. There's discussions on splitting them.... will it happen? They are in some field guides.

Congratulations on this lifer D. At least you got a picture, I know it would have been a real disappointment if you had not have gotten something. TFS!
