Rosella in flight

This is a pretty rare image. At least in my collection. Rosellas are fast fliers and a 'frozen', in-focus shot is more or less pure luck.
Eastern Rosella, Tasmania

    Jeepers! What a GREAT shot. One of the hardest things to do(besides focusing!) is getting a bird in flight.
    Outstanding,

    Hi Nickolay
    You are being modest. It is a great shot.

    Congratulations.

    Hi Nickolay,
    Thanks for the nice comment. Yes indeed, that is my reflection in the Hawks eye! He was at a rehab centre and was very docile.

    This photo is one of your best... Here in Florida we have a multicolored bird, the painted bunting, that resembles your Rosella a bit. Beautiful.
