Bird Landing

[glenc]

There were 8 roos at the end of our street this morning and 4 frogmouths in our big tree.

My wife took the image below yesterday, we had a flock of them.

Sounds like a lovely, beautiful and natural environment you live in Glen. Great photo of what I originally thought was a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo too! But, it looks like some other bird? A Corella?

Cheers

Hi Dennis, it's a Bare-Eyed Corella Cacatua pastinator (Gould)

Hope that answers it for you. ;)

[Dennis]

Nahh, I was expecting the full taxonomic description in both Latin, Greek and Swahili! It'll do though! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks!

Dennis

And in Swahili, it would be Kasuku nyeupe na macho buluu, bila nywele, or in English, "a white parrot with blue bald eyes" :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's OK, Guy, you are forgiven - by me at any rate. Now, about Ruth . . . :)

Very nice shot indeed. You can actually feel it landing.

LOL Houghy, the Greek actually says, "my wife will kill me when she sees my new 200mm lens" :scared:

[glenc]

We had 3 frogmouths yesterday.

[Dennis]

Astounding camouflage - especially when they also "branch" to look like part of the tree.

Cheers

Amazing camouflage, like Dennis said.
