" I love it when you have had enough of the politics and say 'Stuff it, here's a picture of a parrot'"

Today....... and the past week has been like that. The parrots win out again. Actually I spent quite a while getting this photo which I picked and touched up...... out of about forty shots. The higher resolution view shows the velvet sheen on the tail feathers and wings.

I'm trying to get a decent pic of some tiny little red browed finches which are elusive and prone to flit about very quickly.
