I am hopeful that this coming summer will be a good season for budgies again - following on from all this rain. They are highly nomadic and you can never be sure where they'll show up.

This is the natural colour of budgerigars. You don't find blue, purple, etc budgies in the wild.
Also, Americans call these 'parakeets'. Most Australians won't recognise that bird name. (It took me years to figure out that parakeets were actually budgies.)

With thanks to @boyfrombruce.bsky.social for taking me back to one of his favourite spots to see these. We reckon it's going to be a bumper season for budgies.
