PARrot PARty

I spent yesterday in London as my best friend's son, Richard, was running his first London Marathon. It was a fabulous day and I took hundreds of photo's of runners. Richard did it in 3hrs 51 mins, which was a brilliant time, and considering the heat, the hottest recorded at the April run.
My runner shots were not the best, I am not good at "sports" but I did manage a few good shots of the very friendly parakeets that now reside in St James's Park.

The species is widespread throughout the Philippines, including the Talaud Islands and islands off north and east Borneo. It is found in secondary forest, at forest edges and in plantations at elevations of up to 1000 m. Flock size is usually under a dozen. The blue-naped parrot feeds on mangoes, berries, seeds, nuts and grains. It nests in tree holes.

Took a trip to the Parrot Zoo near Boston UK. There was a cage you could walk into to be with the birds. It was a relief to be able to capture them without all the fencing in the way.

As it's a cold and dull Sunday here I thought I'd go through some of my Cook Island photos from January as a reminder of that tropical climate!! How nice to be back in the lagoons of Rarotonga, even if only by photo!
Off to Japan in 16 days!!
Vielen lieben Dank für Eure lieben Kommentare und natürlich auch fürs Favorisieren.

I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. :o)
“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.” Don McCullin (1935)
This crimson rosella (platycercus elegans) perched on B's head just long enough for a portrait. Shot at a roadside stop not too far from Melbourne.
Shooting info: handheld with remote shutter release, auto focus, master pixel size 14.6, JPEG with superfine compression. (I no longer shoot JPEGs; this shot is from my "pre-RAW" days).
Processing: cropped; brightness and saturation adjusted slightly in Aviary
