Yep it's a Mallee Ringneck, we've photographed them many times, a wide spread species.

Yeah I agree Mike , DD those pics are great especially the bottom one , did you take them yourself ? If so you should post them more often .

I'd rather see great pics of wildlife and places than editorial any day .

We did take them ourselves, that's the major reason for our travels. We post some of our images in the SHARING PHOTOS section of this forum.

Our best images are posted in Birdlife Australia's Image Gallery. Here's another of our Mallee Ringneck images to enjoy, they're great birds.

We're flying up to Darwin in a few days for a 3 week photographic trip to Kakadu/Katherine we'll post some images in the SHARING PHOTOS section when we get back.

Love your photos DD. Birds are a favourite of mine to photograph.
Maybe it's an idea to pick a particular spot on here to show such great work

The SHARING PHOTOS section of this forum works well, there are some lovely images posted in it not just ours.

 Oh of course there is. So sorry. I had completely forgotten about that section. Must add some of mine later.
