A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Platycercus caledonicus
The upperparts are dark, mottled green and black, in contrast with the yellow head, neck and underbody. When flying the bright yellow body is very obvious. There are distinct blue cheek patches, a red band across the forehead, and blue shoulder patches.
The Green Rosella is restricted to Tasmania and the Bass Straight islands. Every afternoon , since this tree has flowered , there is 3 that have been coming like clock work at 5pm every day.
