Red-vented Bluebonnet Parrot among the thistles

Coolmunda, Qld, Australia. I have been after bluebonnets for a while and Coolmunda is the eastern most part of their range. So yesterday I gave that part of the world a visit and found my prize. They are a very wary and spectacular bird. This photo required crawling across mud and much sneaking to get. It was entirely worth it.
