User's notes

A pair of Australian King Parrots which visits our garden daily mated this morning. Copulation was preceded and followed by the male 'flashing' his eyes (eye pinning) and feeding the female. My macro lens was attached to the camera therefore most shots taken from inside the house were out of focus. These are lucky exceptions, during what seems to be a rare sighting.
