That's great documentary phot. I'm with the the others though I want a date and a location?! To get that close you must have been very lucky or have some fance equipment - Please give us the details?

According to the Meta-Data it was taken with an Olympus SP550UZ, and it was taken at 3x Optical Zoom! Must have been pretty close!

Hi Guys,
I took the photo at the Carowine Gorge 170kms east of Marble Bar. We camped along the gorge the trees were full of budgies, and I saw flocks of stars. I took lots of photos and the camera was Olympus SP55ouz i bought it in 2007 and very happy with it. We are on a caravan trip for 3 months and have seen Long tailed, Crimson, Stars, Double Barred and huge flocks of Zebras especially in Coober Pedy but everywhere I have been I have seen zebras.

Any chance of re-locating a couple of crimson's to my place as you go past?

Hi Mickup,

We are going right by Wyhalla i am getting very homesick been gone for 9 weeks now. I have just loved all the birds and especially seeing the finches in the wild. I did have one photo with about 20 star finches but my camera blurred it. I am freaking about my finches back home I have 10 metres aviary and they are very spoilt finches but someone only comes once a week to check the seed and water ( we have a drip system). They have not had all the treats I usually give them so will be very happy when I come home. Will be collecting lots of grass on the way home. Cheers Lyn
