This is a 28.
Normally I'm all about entomology; here is some etymology. (Note I'm not an expert, just enthusiastic)
Names by language of origin:
28; French (probably) because it's call sounds like "vingt huit", 28 in French.
Toolnut; Noongar, also based on their sounds. (Noongar elder Vernice Gillies)
Dowarn, Doomolok; Noongar names. (Abbott, Ian, 2009)
Ringneck; English, a visual description.
Or, 28; English, because people say the call sounds like 28 in English... I don't think it does.

My greatest difficulty with birding is light. In the late afternoon, I had to take the shutter speed down to 1/200s for some of these shots. Not ideal at 400mm or such a fast, nervous bird.
Stabilisation and shooting raw files help, but the ideal solution would be a larger aperture lens. Unfortunately, the cheapest options are priced similarly to small cars, so like most people, my birding has a curfew.

These little hooded plovers flew out into new homes and they were so much fun to make… my hands will be busy making more of them. I love these birds and they nest here in Aldinga beach amongst other places. . . . #aldingabeach #southaustralianbeaches #hoodedplover #birdslifeoz #coastalbirds #ceramicbirds #ceramicsculpture #beachlifevibes #isabel_lopes_artist #adelaideartist #adelaidemade #australianbirds #ceramicart #ceramicstudio #fleurieupeninsula #madeinsouthaustralia #birds_adored #contemporaryceramic (at South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClfylPPJmzL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
