Wimmera Birds

Made a recent trip to the Wimmera region of Victoria to my home town of Warracknabeal where I managed to get a few interesting bird images.There were several good shots of a pair of red-rumped Parrots commonly known as Grass Parrots while the ever-present Galahs always offer opportunities for interesting photos. 
Disappointing this time to find the the local reservoir, better known as the "swamp" was all but dry. It is no longer needed to store water for the town as that is now supplied via a pipeline. The birdlife less than 6 months ago was fantastic (see photo) while this time there was virtually none at all - pity. I'll post some more bird images from these trips to Warracknabeal soon.
