One of the things I was most excited about when moving to the Pilbara was seeing wild budgerigars flying freely through the landscape.
During our first year, we saw so many flocks, but my lenses couldn't quite capture them the way I'd hoped. I was determined to change that and saved for my long-awaited 200–800mm lens.
When the budgies began returning to the Ashburton River, I was ready. Unfortunately, Cyclone Narelle came through, damaging the trees and sending the few birds I'd found elsewhere.
After months of searching, I finally discovered this little group perched together against the beautiful Pilbara sky.
There's something incredibly special about seeing these familiar little birds living wild and free. It's usually their distinctive calls that alert me to their presence long before I spot them.
Finding these six together was worth every early morning and every kilometre spent searching!
