Last week, I managed to capture a hover fly in flight, but what I really wanted to do this week, was to catch one of these handsome devils flying, or doing something other than the usual pose. A whole flock of them decided to graze on some flower seeds nearby, so I became paparazzi to the birds. This is not a cockatoo, but it was grazing in good company and obligingly flew for me.  And then I went back to the bigger birds, who were just a little closer How could I resist? They are beautiful birds.

These guys were enjoying the morning sun on the highest point they could find. They came. They sat. They preened. They munched on the power-line. They stared at me staring at them. And put on a good display. Then they went. But even this large cockatoo is scared of magpies!
