Crimson Rosella Preening Feathers

Crimson Rosella Preening Feathers

It is not always easy getting a photo of a bird in the wild in their natural environment. I have spotted these birds many times while on a photography day trip, but they were too far away and had many trees and branches between them and my camera, making it basically impossible to capture a nice shot.Oh you can get up close at some of these wildlife attractions where they feed them, but there is nothing more enjoyable or rewarding for me than to get them in the wild doing their own thingies.

Departing Dorrigo, we were originally going to travel down the mountain which was a beauitful drive calling into Bellingen but a friend suggested we do the inland road, she said it was a beautiful drive. So we set off, the road was narrow but had a good surface winding its way around corners down gullies, driving through some of Australians most beautiful National Parks Junuy...
