Red-rumped Parrot (Psephotus haematonotus) – female 1/2000, f/6.3, ISO 1600, handheld Canon R5, Canon RF 600mm f/4 L IS USM
I was snuggled at the edge of my favourite dam in the Little Desert, wishing that the sun would stay up a little longer, when this female Red-rumped Parrot landed on a stump in the water. Females don’t have a red rump. Such beautiful lighting, such a beautiful bird!
