Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita)

Nice close up of the face.
Rookery.

Bit of a cheat really. Our garden is visited regularly by Sulphur-crested, Yellow-tailed Black, Crimson Rosella, King Parrot, Galah, Rainbow Lorikeet, Musk Lorikeet and Crimson Rosella. I can sit on our decking and watch the passing parade. Its a bit too easy to get great shots under those circumstances. We were camping last week end and a Crimson Rosella sat on my sketch book and another on my shoulder.

Sounds like you're back yard is something like mine Stephen, nice close shot.

Yes, a backyard to make a good bunch of jealous-people... and I'm in that bunch! Not to mention the Rosella in your shoulder!!! :eek!:

I don't know if it is easy or not to take, but this close-up is beautiful, Stephen!!! :t: :t: :t:

A splendid portrait Stephen! :clap:
