Ealier this month I saw my first Elegant Parrots at the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Gardens. They were quite common on that particular morning. It seems I always either misidentified them as Purple-crowned Lorikeets or just didn't notice them. I guess it always pays to take a closer look! Another lifer was the Spotted Harrier. No interesting mammals, reptiles or frogs were seen on this trip. These are some of the photos I got of the parrots (note they have been downsized to fit into the upload requirements).
Nice photos of the parrots, lovely looking birds, quite a big group of them. Well done getting two new sightings.Thanks for posting.
Yes, they are beautiful birds that live up to their name.

Always nice to get new birds. This is one I still haven't seen. Thanks for sharing.
Good stuff, yes certainly looks fairly big flock as well
I see them in my area of South West of W.A on regular basis but not in those numbers
Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
