The green rosella is Tasmania’s largest parrot. It is often seen foraging on the ground for seeds, berries, and flowers, including the prickly blooms of thistles and other spiny plants. I photographed this guy on Maria Island, off the east coast of Tasmania. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/1600th of a second.

Such a colorful and beautiful bird. And the clarity of the photo is amazing!
What a beautiful bird! I love that tiny pink splash held in its beak that adds to the amazing color of the bird’s feathers. Nice composition!
