Yellow Tail Black Cockatoo through 500D and ED80

Hi. I saw this Yellow Tail Black Cockatoo sitting in a nearby pine tree about 50 meters away and decided to give my (new to me) SWED 80 PRO a try at terrestrial photography.
I was happy with how it performed. It was difficult to get a good shot as i was manually holding the scope, looking through the 500D's viewfinder and focusing the ED's focus wheel....an AZ mount would be handy
I would like to take more images of this bird as the do not stop by all that often for all that long.
