So usually I have black Cockatoos fly over my house one ever 2/3 weeks usually 2 or 3
But this morning there was a huge noise I got out of bed looked out the front door and sighted a yellow Cockatoo on the fence I ran to get my camera which was still all setup for the macro I did the night before hoping it would stay on the fence. I went out with the camera as quietly as I could because the black cockies are quite shy birds around here...to find that I had 20+ black cockies in the front garden!!!! OMG fighting over the bird bath..one in my water trough, several in the bushes. a large number on the tree, a few slitting along the fence line and they were flying past my front door at no higher than 2 meters off the ground
the light was quite poor this morning and I had to shoot at 200 to get them (as I couldn't get close enough but I managed to snap some shots I'm so pleased this is a rare occasion (I'm pleased I just had my camera batteries charged because usually they are not)

@ sirocco. I just realised id been following you on Facebook. Didnt put 2 and 2 together until just now. Werent you guys in oz not long ago?
We still are mate, we are in Victoria. Got here in December. Currently we have 12 month tourist/working visas but i'm putting through for my skilled migrant visa now so hopefully we will get permanent residency in the next few months. We cant really afford to leave, so it looks like we will be staying for the next 3-5 years, maybe longer.
It was always our plan to come here and start life again, the trip was just a way of getting hereThe UK has gone downhill since 2008 and we felt like we were going nowhere. As a geologist I can get paid 3x what I was in the UK doing the same thing (geotechnics, so I don't have to go to the mines), so it was a no brainer for us really.
We also really really like it here, except you're more like the Americans than the British
