CommentIt's that time of year when many of our native birds are looking for hollows to nest. We have a pair of beautiful Elegant Parrots that have been showing a bit of intermittent interest in the hollow of an old tree on the roadside near our house. Yesterday I snapped this image of the female (I assume) checking out the potential new nursery while her mate perched nearby.
EquipmentCanon EOS 1DX MKII, Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Sports, F/6.3, 1/2000, ISO 1000 and post-processed using DPP4 and PS.
