At the moment there is not a lot of colour in the garden - autumn leaves were all but absent as we had that late dry, warm summer/autumn and no frosts to bring out the leaf colour. Very disappointing as I love the autumn color. Alas, the leaves just fell off the trees and we got the usual mess without the glorious colour. At least we are now getting the rain we needed.
But, we are getting colour in the garden as you can see from the photos. These beautiful birds are Rosellas. The one we get here in Adelaide is appropriately called the 'Adelaide Rosella' and is a subspecies of the Crimson Rosella from the Eastern states.
They come in a range of colours from yellowish to orange to red and all shades in between, which makes them far more interesting than the Crimson Rosella. The young ones are born green and gradually get their colours as they mature.

Greeting from Germany
Great photos of beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great week!
As soon as I saw the first photo, I thought of Australia and all your wonderful wildlife. One of the highlights of my life was a visit to Australia many years ago. I took my young brother, a budding artist at the time (and a successful one since) — he could spot birds that I would have missed completely.
