Just a few of the budgies (budgerigars) that we found yesterday. Note that this is their natural colour. You don't get blue or purple budgies in the wild. Southern Flinders Ranges, South Australia. #birdsseenin2026

Tom Beckett@tombeckett02.bsky.social · 6d agoEnjoyed a superb birding trip to Shetland from 9th-13th October with @birdingscot.bsky.social, @louisbackstrom.bsky.social, @tomrosas.bsky.social, and James Weeks. Heaps of good birds, but the Grey-cheeked Thrush at Easter Quarff and Golden Oriole at Tresta were definite standouts. #BirdingScotland
