The great galahs

Apr 17

Let’s be very clear here, I am not a bird photographer. I’m not nearly patient enough for a start. But camping in a farmyard in Mukinbudin with galahs our constant companions, I was bound to give it a go sooner or later!

For my non-Aussie friends, these guys are noisy! Seriously rowdy. A galah is also a derogatory term meaning Loud-mouthed idiot - you don’t hear it much anymore but I reckon it needs reviving.
