Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ One variety of rosella that visits our world in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
It is quite rare that these "jittery" birds land on our verandah railing as happened on this particular day.
For once, I happened to have my camera.

Would someone be able to tell me what is my mystery invader?

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

you have the most amazing birds,, and i am so happy that you had your camera so you could share this one with me.. i have never seen one before...
I wish I had these exotic birds flying onto my deck out back. He's a beauty and you had your camera to share him with us. Thanks. Have a great day.
Its a lovely colorful bird :)
In your country
are so funny birds :)
Nice shot !!
I'm such a bird girl, would love to own a parrot, but I have too much scent going on in my house all the time with the making of candles and soaps, they say it's not good for them, plus in the winter I have to keep the heat so low to be able to afford it, the poor thing would be a popsicle on a perch...like me!
Have a great week friend! Some day I'll have the time to sit and sketch one of you're feathered friends for you...when the snows fly perhaps!
Hugs...s
Ah, gorgeous. He looks like he knows he is safe.
What a beautiful bird. I've never seen one of those before. Great photo, too.
That's a beauty...and he looks quite friendly too. I wonder what sounds he makes. We don't see any colorful birds like that around here; only loud bluejays!
I have never seen that rare specie yet! That is the beauty of this country because the Nature and its habitats are coming to us, right in our own vicinity!
Good to have the cam handy so when an opportunity arise, you will not miss anything. Clever Gemma!
wow what a gorgeous bird Great picture
Ah, well done, thank you. Beautiful bird! Good shot!
You are so lucky to have these beautiful rosellas flying around your yard and landing so you can snap a photo. Its wonderful to see them flying free in their native habitat and not in a cage...
Glad you had your camera ready, and what a wonderful picture you took of the rosella!!
Happy RT!
How unusual. The bright colors on his head against the plainer body almost remind me of a ship's figurehead, perhaps your title put me in mind of it.
What a beautiful bird! I don't think I've ever seen one like that.
Great photo! That bird is very beautiful.
I love your description! A painted ship sailing along. :)
What a beautiful it is very interesting indeed!
BEAUTIFUL in all respects!
Hugs and blessings,
