Swift Parrots in flight, Truganina Park, Altona Meadows, VIC

I took a number of shots of the flock of dozens of Swift Parrots in flight, but they always seemed to manage to make it mostly out of the frame by the time I hit the shutter! They're called Swifties for a reason! :-) It's imperfect, but I'm sharing this photo because the birds are so beautiful and so rare; and it's interesting to see them as they look with their wings spread. They are intensely colourful birds from any angle!
