Sunshine Coast Marathon and the Bird!

Today was the Sunshine Coast Marathon, and where we are was their turning circle.
The roads were closed from 4.30am till 12.30pm.
A full Marathon is 42 km (26 mile), participants ran for themselves and charity. There was also a half Marathon and fun runs.

The Rosella Parrot in the palm tree was feeding, I had to zoom in to get a good shot of it. Nearly every afternoon a lady comes with water and food for the birds, she sits at a picnic table and feeds them.

    Rosella Parrot is a really colourful bird, and I love the imaginative frame that you have given to the photo.
