My goodness - stunning images.

That take off shot is great

Hunter, very nice images. I agree with the others - that last shot is great.

Not sure why they are called "Green winged" though. All the green seems to be on the head of the male.

They do have a green patch on the wings but I don't have a very good image of one, you need a flight shot of the top of the wings. Here you can see a hint of the green.

Hunter, thanks for the information on the bird's colours.
