Crimson rosella with scar.

I finally got back to Callum Brae with camera, and it was great.

This crimson rosella perched in front of me for a brief moment, until it heard the shutter clicking beside it.

When I was looking at the few shots I managed, I noticed a scar around its throat. This reminded me of a crimson rosella I photographed back in 2013 that had some string caught around its throat. The locations of both photos would have been within a couple of hundred metres of each other. I would like to think the hapless bird I photographed in 2013 finally got rid of the string and survived. Or perhaps such mishaps are all too common around the periphery of a city.

Here is the other photo.
