Red-rumps at waterhole.

The red-rumped parrot displays beautiful subtle colours until it is in full flight when more vivid colours are revealed.

These birds were photographed beside one of the dams on the lovely 'Binalong' bird sanctuary property situated between Glen Alice and Glen Davis in the Capertee Valley.

Thanks April for the great hospitality and accommodation.
