| Little Corella On a cricket field at the University Of Queensland, Gatton Campus December 30, 2009 |
A new Australian Ashes series kicks off this week so I'm just trying to get in the mood. These pics were taken from a car window back on December 30, 2009 at the Gatton Campus of the University of Queensland on an outing with Michael Atzeni. The subjects really were on a campus cricket ground. I feel sad now that I only took three non-serious snaps. Living away makes me understand what a beautiful sight these birds are in the wild, gardening in their natural regional cricket setting.
I'm guessing Australia will win this series.

Russell, I fear you will have guessed poorly!
"One day riff-raff" Brilliant!
Well I think it will be closer than the last 2 series............
That's very confident prediction there Russell! Like Stuart I reckon a bit closer, but.......
AHA!
They remind me of those I saw in the Blue Mountains on grassy areas!
They love to dig for insects and they are well "armed" for it!
I had pairs of Red-rumped lorikeets in my aviaries, great memories you raise with this shot!
Cheers Russel!
It's already a lot 'closer' than last series at least..............some 90's deja vu for England fans.
