Curious parrot
I was watching two Australian King Parrots in my garden and kept a distance so I wouldn’t scare them away. Managed to get a few shots and moved in a bit closer at each click. The male had noticed me and then took off and I thought that was that. Imagine my surprise when he actually flew to the tree I was under and perched above me to see what I was doing.

Now at a slightly safer distance the mother stops to check my progress while her joey hops into the pouch for safety. Another wallaby is feeding nearby. It was early morning and you can see the sunlight outlining them.

As they noticed I was getting closer (to try and get clearer shots) mother decided to turn away and move and joey followed.

Walking through Lysterfield Lake Park always produces some great photo opportunities. I was not to be disappointed when I was there recently and came across a small group of wallabies and one had a joey with it.

Revisting Lysterfield Lake Park
Jul 26, 2009 Australian wildlife, Lysterfield Lake Park
Yesterday I went back to Lysterfield Lake Park for a wander around as my husband went on his regular weekly mountain bike ride. I thought at first I would have to settle for landscape shots (not that that’s a bad thing) but then I chanced upon two small families of kangaroos. So, for the next few days, I’ll share those images with you – both the scenery and the roos. Enjoy!
