Wedgetail near Normanton
Varied Lory at Mt Isa
Red wing Lory at Mt Isa
Mystery Parrot - I think a type of Rosella, by its calls and tail waging

Great shot of the wedgetail Dremus,how did you manage such a close up shot? Cheers Raoul
We passed the Wedgey feeding on the side of the road on the road to Normanton. I turned the car and van around and drove back slowly taking pics as I got closer. This one was about 8 metres away. He took off into a tree just after, but not too far away, so I assume he was coming back.

Hi Dremus
Great Wedgie shot, that mystery parrot could be a Ringneck, race macgillivrayi 'Cloncurry Ringneck'

Very nice shots Dremus and welcome to the forum, thanks for posting these,I love the Wedge Tail.
Ed you are right about the Cloncurry parrot.
Thanks Guys
I googled - macgillivrayi 'Cloncurry Ringneck'
as suggested, and found more pics. That is definitely the parrot.
They are beautiful to see.
The Wedgetails were not plentiful on our trip. I only saw 2 in 1000 km or driving, but that was just from the road. There are heaps of these other hawks or kites up here that I am yet to identify aswell. They have swallow tails and are mottled brown.
Will get a pic up soon.
Thanks for the help and welcome!
