Platycercus elegans flaveolus
April 23, 2005: Murray River, Paringa, South Australia
This was a quick sighting, but the photo I snapped was good enough for the ID. While on the boat before we left the dock, I saw this bird flying into a tree, and took a quick photo of the tree, hoping for the best. This looks like a very beautiful bird, and I saw a second one from the boat, but also a very quick glance as it flew across in front of the boat.
