You caught a great shot of this bird with it's food in it's mouth getting ready to swallow it down. You are truly blessed to see these birds from sunrise to sundown. I didn't realize they were so loud when flying by. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing this nice picture. The Little Corrella is not being disturbed by you and continue to have snack on something good. The diffused background is interestingly done.

Wow, this is another one that is new to me! I love it's face! He's got something in his beak, love the white plumage and the blue surrounding the eye and that patch of orange feathers just behind the beak.
Well focused, the image is clear, exposure is correct, good detail in the whites. Well composed and presented! I wish I could hear the sounds they make!

Thanks Pat he is eating an Olive the trees in the park were the first ones planted by the settlers to South Australia planted in 1872.

A very nice shot with great detail in the subject and a fine composition. Tiring of the radio and TV, I searched through my book shelves for something that would take some time and came up with "From Dawn to Decadence" which is a compendium of Western cultural life from the late 1400s to the late 1900s. It is almost a thousand pages long and is more boring than it sounds. Stay safe, stay well, stay home.

Thanks Mike hmmm think you need a Kindle and get onto Amazon Unlimited - haven't read as many books since I was recovering from pneumonia many years ago.

What a cute bird.. and looks so much like our Umbrella Cockatoos (I have one myself).

It certainly is enjoying that olive.

Fine whites held here and your colors are natural and perfect!

Thanks Eileen they are huge pests in some areas stripping trees of all the foliage. Did you see my eastern Rosella think you would like that bird :)

A pretty good nature shot posted here of that strange looking bird. Your fine and classical composition gives us a good and enjoyable view of it. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!
