How beautiful is this female Galah, perched so happily on a perfectly shaped little log in the middle of the tranquil waters of an outback dam at sunrise.
If your device lets you enlarge this shot you’ll see the incredible detail of her feathers and her eye. It’s pretty easy to identify male and female Galahs as females have pink irises.
You may have recognised the perch from last week’s Red-rumped Parrot post, though it looks quite different as one shot was taken at sunset and the other at sunrise.
I was just about to head to sleep when I realised it’s Friday. I’ve been incredibly busy organising everything I’ll need for a remote trip, the desert country is calling.
Happy birding, Kim

So beautiful!
Thank you xo
My favourite Aussie bird. The perfect colour combination of vivid pink, grey and white plumage is so incredibly beautiful, and I love their cheeky, larrikin character. I only ever see them at dusk, so I think of them as flying streaks of sunset!
They are stunning birds, I agree. And I agree about the animated sunsets too 🙂
Thanks again Kim. Have a great trip. Valda
Thanks heaps Valda x
