Lorakeet

This lorakeet was in a tree about 30 meters away. I took the picture with my Nikon D200 with the tele zoomed out to 250 mm - equivalent to 400mm on a 35 mm camera. The picture has been cropped but that is all. I was pretty surprised it came out this sharp since the camera was hand held.

Lorakeets are parrot like birds that are sized in between parakeets and parrots. There were two of them in this tree sitting fairly close together but I couldn't get a good shot of both of them together.
