[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
grey lourie - Corythaixoides concolor. Also called
GO-AWAY-BIRD ;-) it makes horrible call, but personally I like it!

Common resident. All-grey with pronounced head-crest.
Sexes are alike. Fly with rather heavy wing movements, mostly below the treetops.

Charming picture, Paul - lots of fine detail, and lots of "character" provided by the subject.

L'un de mes oiseaux préférés Paul. J'adore leurs cris qui résonnent...Ta photo le met en évidence dans son environnement et ça c'est appréciable.
