Had a lovely walk in the local park on Friday – unfortunately there is some work going on in and around the wetlands (noisy with diggers and the sort making a mess) which meant a lot of the birds had either been relocated or had just left for the day. Didn’t get to see many at all 😦
So I thought maybe you’d like to see these that I ‘did’ see in the same park October last year. At first glance I thought the big white birds were Sulphur Crested Cockatoos but then when I couldn’t see the yellow crest I realised they were Corellas.
Not sure which one tho’Â but most likely the second.
Little Corella  = Cacatua sanguinea
or
Long Billed Corellas = Cacatua tenuirostris  Â
They were fairly high up in the old tree which meant I had zoom in and with the sun in a ‘stupid place’ it also meant I couldn’t see what was on the camera screen so I wasn’t even sure I was taking a photo of anything lol
So here you are – Cocky in the Tree Top Â
They use old holes in trees for nesting so its possible this one is a female.

Cropped for a better view of the long bill they have
Then what do I see higher up off to one side almost hidden in the branches but another one!
