WA Black Cockatoo and a Honky Nut

[IanP]

A couple of days ago I walked to Readbold Hill, City Beach, and here we are, on a Marri Tree there was this WA Black Cockatoo cracking a Honky Nut.

wow it shows up the chromatic aberration in your lens surprisingly strong!

Good to get an action shot with the eating

My wife has been chasing Carnaby's Cockatoos around Perth for the last 18 months with tracking devices on the birds. Needless to say she has hundreds and hundreds of GB of photo that I have to make sure our network can store!: http://carnabyscockatoo.blogspot.com.au/

Thanks for sharing Ian. I have been tracking down black cockatoos in my area in recent time.
