Hi Everyone
As most of you know by now I was invited to participate in a trip to search and photograph Princess Parrots by Ian and Pat May and also with Don Haddon in an irruption that has never been documented, or as far as I know, been seen in our lifetime
It was truly amazing to see such large flocks of these wonderful birds swirling up from the ground and weaving along in their erratic, tumbling flight and to see their footprints in amongst the Upside-down Plant (Leptosema chambersii ) as at one stage I came upon them eyeball to eyeball ( about 1metre away ) and you could see the flowers at the base had been dislodged and lay on the ground. I was also very fortunate to be able to photograph them copulating as well. I have attached a link to my website for 4 of the many photos that I took on this trip. http://barraimaging.com.au/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup http://barraimaging.com.au/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&cat=0 &cat=0
Regards to you all
