I’ve spent most of today doing very little, just recovering from my course last week. However, I did pop into Chichester this afternoon to run a few errands and while I was there I took a stroll through some of the quiet back streets with my camera. I ended up at Priory Park watching the budgies in the aviary. My Mum used to bring me here when I was little to see them and while they’re obviously different birds to the ones I visited as a child but they were just as willing to pose - this fellow was particularly obliging.

Very pretty, coy shot . MoMac · 2010-08-02: 16:28

Reminds me of my neighbor who said " Who's a good boy?" to her cat. I thought she was talking to me and I rolled over on my back looking for a tummy rub. Nice bird. ????? · 2010-08-02: 17:49
