Two sulphur-crested cockatoos visited yesterday, and one today. These three often fly around together, but rarely seem to feed at the same time. One might be in a nearby tree keeping watch and will arrive on his own. The main flocks will be out in the vineyards at this time of the year, or in home orchards.
The last two days have been heavily overcast, and it is late in the day, washing out the colour.
Despite the single cockie spotting me instantly, I managed to creep across the room to take the last three photos without startling it into flight. The overhead light was on and the result would be improved if only I had thought to turn it off.
We are looking at these birds through my lounge window – and a net curtain. They are sitting on my front fence eating birdseed. Click on any picture and it will take you to the gallery for bigger images.
